re: DiCaprio to take "long, long break" from acting

"The Academy hasn't nominated me for an Oscar yet. frick them. I've done all the right, prestige parts...wtf? I'm annoyed, I've got a shite ton of money, I'll bang whichever ridiculously hot super model I'm banging right now, and I'll get back to it in a few months."

I'm sure behind closed doors he is a bit annoyed by it, but he has been nominated 3 times and is only 38 years old. that's pretty damn good. although personally I think that the Academy got it wrong in 2006 by nominating him for Blood Diamond (should have been for The Departed like both the Globes and BAFTA's did). I also think that his work in Revolutionary Road was one of the best performances of his career next to only The Aviator and he was snubbed big time for that one. If I was in charge of his nominations it would have been -

Best Supporting Actor - What's Eating Gilbert Grape

Best Leading Actor - The Aviator *should have won*

Best Leading Actor - The Departed

Best Leading Actor - Revolutionary Road

Best Supporting Actor - Django Unchained
