It’s Leo’s 40th birthday today. That’s 40 years without an Oscar – the poor guy has been nominated several times and always seems to go home empty handed.
Here are some pictures of him without the golden trophy, and what he’s probably (we use the word loosely) thinking.
1. I’ll just grow this beard and no one will recognise me as Leo – no Oscar – DiCaprio.
2. Why? Why? Why is it not my turn yet?
3. If I did win an Oscar I’d hold it right here like this.
4. Yeah… it’s a bit embarrassing.
5. My mum even dressed as an Oscar.
6. OK so I can’t get a picture with an actual Oscar, I’ll just have to stand in front of this giant replica.
7. Ha! This is it, the movie that’s going to get me my God damn Oscar.
8. I’m so happy for you Matthew (not) let’s embrace so the world can’t see my disappointment.
9. Nope, not letting you go…
10. Perhaps if I hug enough Oscar winners it will impart some Oscar winning powers into me.
11. Let’s pretend these gold awards are Oscars, hey fellas?
12. This is not fair, and I’ll tell you why not…
13. I wish my own name was printed in this envelope, just this once.
14. I wanted the iconic gold statue for Wolf of Wall Street but I will begrudgingly accept this see-through glass thing.
15. Maybe I can charm Lupita to give me her Oscar? No?
16. Not even if I go in for the kiss?
17. OK, this is not the correct gold award.
18. Why am I always forced to hang out with Oscar winners?
19. Do not let them see you cry.
20. *Sob*.
21. Hello! I should have an Oscar, I would put it in this hand.
22. OK, just focus on the simple things, riding a bike, one of life’s everyday pleasures.
23. Surely I’ll win an Oscar for the Great Gatsby. SURELY.
24. I’m trying to pass this thoroughly pissed off look as thoughtful and pensive.
25. I practise this pose sometimes, it’s the stance I would take, holding my Oscar.
26. Seriously, do these Oscar winners just follow me around to gloat?
27. Don’t taunt me Marion, don’t taunt me. I will snap.
28. Sometimes I pray. One day, one day…
29. No officer, I did not try to steal one, I did not!
30. OK! Golden Globe time, maybe I’ll win one of these, a small consolation.
31. What the hell is this plastic green award? What. The. Hell.
32. Second time lucky, ey Kate?
33. Helen! You won an Oscar, I’m so happy for you! (Please give it to me).
34. Come on Scorsese, can I just hold your Oscar for a second?
35. Don’t worry Steve, I got this. This is my year.
36. Just practising my “I’m SO surprised” Oscar winner face.
37. I will just take this one if I have to you know.
38. I can not believe I have to present an Oscar. This takes the piss.
39. No these aren’t tears, I just got something in my eye. Something in my eye!
40. OK fine, these are actual tears.
One day Leo, one day.
