It was clear early on that there was something special about Leonardo DiCaprio. He was nominated for his first Academy Award at the age of 20 for What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, and while the fresh-faced actor had already earned “teen heartthrob” status that would only grow when he reached the next level of fame, he was always keen on taking challenging roles rather than going for the flashy male lead. Indeed, films like The Basketball Diaries and This Boy’s Life aren’t exactly the kind of projects you take when you’re merely seeking superstardom, which is why signing on to star in James Cameron’s epic romance about the doomed Titanic was a fitting choice for the actor and, ironically, the one that launched him into the “movie star” realm.

Dicaprio has had a bit of a weird career. I wouldn't say he has ever been snubbed, but the roles he took when he was younger are more impressive. I don't think he deserves the statue of Cranston.
