Best Actor in a Leading Role: Leonardo DiCaprio, Revolutionary Road

This year, Leo’s competition was simply too tough. Between Mickey Rourke’s dramatic comeback in “The Wrestler,” Sean Penn’s perfect portrayal of Harvey Milk, and Brad Pitt’s accent-laden journey as man-boy Benjamin Button, the thrice-nominated 34 year old found himself without a nod for the first time in a long time, despite his impressive performance as depressed suburbanite Frank Wheeler in the Sam Mendes-directed masterpiece.

  Leo is great....but Sean, Brad, Mickey and Robert Downey Jr were better! I was very happy that Sean Penn won; I didn't think he would win for such a controversial subject matter. ~ Donna L. Copman

  Take me now, Leo. Take me now. It's a fantastic book, but it didn't open in my local movie theater. I can't wait to see it!

  Brandon S..........Jamie Fox was Ray Charles, he sang like Ray Charles and even DiCaprio said Fox deserved to win because he was phenomenal.

  Leo is so ugly now that he's middle-aged.

  Leo deserved a nomination, no doubt.

  Leo deserved to win the Oscar for 'The Aviator' hands down. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Jamie Fox won that year for 'Ray' right? He was good and all....but nowhere even CLOSE to Leo's performance as Howard Hughes....Leo was robbed.

  he was amazing in this role. most of the time he didn't even need dialogue, his facial expressions spoke volumes.
