Prediction Does Dicaprio have a good shot at the oscars next year in 2026?

Leo almost always has a good shot at the Oscars. It’ll have been over ten years since his last Oscar too, so voters might be more willing to give him another shot.
I thought he deserved it among the nominees in 2019 for Hollywood. Although to be fair I think that De Niro should have won for The Irishman even though he wasn’t nominated.

He went from twelve movies in the decade leading up to his Oscar, to three in this past decade. Although he could/should(?) have won for OUATIH and he deserved a nomination for Killers.
I agree though, it's Leo, his chances at being an Oscar contender are very, very high going into 2025.

De Niro was excellent but Adam Sandler should’ve won that year, and he too wasn’t nominated.

Adam Sandler was excellent but Robert Pattinson should've won that year, and he too wasn't nominated.

Robert Pattinson was excellent but Song Kang-ho should've won that year, and he too wasn't nominated.

He'll always be in the conversation.
It's insane he wasn't even nominated last year for Killers Of The Flower Moon, it's among his top 5 greatest performances ever, so against-type and so committed.

I think the fact that it was a more subtle performance than what he usually gives didn’t help, especially when both Gladstone and DeNiro were considered the standouts of the movie.

Man, Leo was terribly miscast. 50 year old dude playing 20s. He should have played the Tom White character, and Will Poulter should have been Ernest. Will should also play HH Holmes, but I guess Leo’s gotta take that role too.

I was talking about this with a friend the other day. I think with how weak the supporting actor field has been this decade, with a proper narrative put in place, I could see him easily sweeping the awards season for reprising his role as Rick Dalton in the OUATIH sequel

The movie is an over the place comedy with a lot of action and also DiCaprio is not so loved by Academy. He is one of my favorite actors but I'm a pragmatic person, I say no.

Leo feels firmly in the “We already awarded you so we’ll go with someone else” phase in relation to the Oscars. He’ll always be in the conversation bc he’s Leo but they’re no urgency to reward him again.

incorrect. narrative changes every year. really depends on what else happens. u think leo will never win again? because that’s what you’re implying. unlikely.

u/rebelluzon 14h ago
Nom, maybe. A win, not anytime soon. He used up the overdue card already so there’s no rush to award him again yet.

It's hilarious you say this when in the meantime they literally gave two Oscars each to some Frances McDormand and some Emma Stone.

Because they disappear into their roles. It’s like as if those roles were meant to be only for them and no one else. When you watch Leo, you know it’s Leo doing his Leo thing. His boyish good looks detracts people from looking into his performance. (Can’t have it all). In the Revenant, his role could have been played even well by Christian Bale. Tom Hardy was actually the standout in that movie.

the most original comment i ever seen and for this sub that’s saying sth

Leo always has a shot and imo he should have like 5. This year is already shaping up to be super competitive though. Colin Farrell is in a new film and the early consensus is he is the front runner. Adam Sandler is in a new Noah Baumbach film with George Clooney and is also expected to make a serious run. His appearance at this years Oscar’s was apparently the start of a full year long campaign by him.

It’s Chalamet’s year.

u/Peridot1708 10h ago
Ironically i think Chalamet is gonna end up where Dicaprio was in the Oscar race a decade ago - they'll keep nominating him several times till the overdue narrative builds up and then finally reward him somewhere in the 2030s or something.
Of course i could be wrong but thats what i'm guessing.

Can we get a bot to auto-reply to all of these posts with “Maybe, maybe not. No one has seen the movie yet so it’s impossible to say.”
