This might be the year that Leonardo di Caprio will finally find out if his co-Hollywood elite A-list actors "really, really love" him!
And magpasalamat talaga sya that the Academy voted for Eddy Redmayne as Best Actor last year, because if Eddy didn't win, Eddy would be Leo's biggest competition for the Oscar this year, and the Academy pa naman have no qualms in giving the Best Actor trophy to men who play it gay or who dress up as women.
With a Best Actor nomination for The Revenant from the much bigger SAG voting population, he should easily be a shoo-in for a 6th Oscar Best Actor nod.
And with Matt Damon out of the SAG race (for The Martian), it really boosts his chances of winning both the SAG and the Oscar.
It also helps that no single actor has dominated this season's Best Actor race, unlike the last time he was nominated, where Matthew McConnaughey was a critic's darling and went on to sweep all the major awards (SAG, Golden Globe and the Oscars), while Leo's fans protested!
Among his other co-nominees are Johnny Depp, who also hasn't won an Oscar but has been nominated twice before, Michael Fassbender, who plays Steve Jobs.and the popular Breaking Bad actor, Bryan Cranston in Trumbo.
All the five guys in the list are all popular and well-loved so Leo has to campaign properly to make sure he gets the most votes from among they guys!
Also, it has been 22 years na since his first nomination in What's Eating Gilbert Grape! Napanuod ko pa yan sa isang SM cinema. And even at that young age, alam mo na talaga na this kid was going to be a huge movie star.
And Leo has certainly shown his potential. Should he prepare a speech na? Let's see how the Golden Globes vote naman.
