6) Leonardo DiCaprio’s On The Hunt For An Oscar

Looking back, shouldn’t it really have been Leonardo DiCaprio who won the Oscar for Best Actor in 2014?

Having steadily improved role on role over the years, in The Wolf Of Wall Street DiCaprio was the best he’d ever been, proving he’s only ever in a state of getting better. Now, for his next film, the actor has been more dedicated than ever in a bid to finally win that Oscar.

For one, he grew the hair, beard, and belly over months before production even began to play Hugh Glass, while on-set he went a bit method and ate a bison’s liver for one scene – despite being a vegetarian.

The dialogue-free nature of the part could harm his Oscar chances somewhat (Academy voters tend to prefer actors who give emotive, wordy performances), but regardless, even on an off day DiCaprio is compelling. And met with a challenge like this, he’s likely to be on peak form.
