he Kriegt him or he does not get it? Already four times Leonardo DiCaprio was nominated for an Oscar, first in 1994 with 20 years, most recently two years ago for “Wolf of Wall Street”. Four times he has missed out.
But the worst was probably in 1998, when James Cameron’s mega hit “Titanic” was pretty much nominated in each category and triumphed in practically every category Has. As for the male lead time there was not even a nomination. That must have very gnawed at DiCaprio
And it is also strange. He repeatedly referred to and admired as one of the best living actor of Hollywood, as one of the very few he seeks his roles far from the usual mainstream and goes unswervingly its own way. But never is it the highest consecration of its industry been given.
This now could be the night to Monday, if awarded the 88th time the Oscar, finally change. DiCaprio is what one “last turn” calls. It is set up with “The Revenant” but also for an extreme film, he carries all by himself and for which he has been not only to his physical limits, but far beyond. Something like the members of the Film Academy in Hollywood, which decides on the Oscars

Never were his chances as good as this year. All major bookmakers tap to 60 percent to him, Eddie Redmayne followed by a wide margin with 20 percent, the other fellow, Michael Fassbender, Matt Damon and Bryan Cranston, run also ran.
But the Oscars would not be the Oscars, if at all expectable Awards not yet come to a surprise or two, with no one would have expected. Since the male lead is always one of the last categories that takes his turn in the long ceremony, this is an extremely exciting Oscar night.
Moderator with loose tongue
that it is exciting, but also due to the moderator. And how bravely the reflected, will be seen in the first few minutes. This year’s Academy Awards was so overshadowed by some prominent cancellations in advance: stars such as Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith and directing icon Spike Lee want the celebration in Dolby stay away Theatre in Los Angeles demonstratively, because this year, once again, not a single black actor has been nominated.
where Will Smith does in “Shocking truth”, which has just started in Germany, perhaps his best performance since “Ali”, Spike Lee has just at the Berlinale presented with “Chi-raq” a great parable on the force of arms in the streets of the USA. And these are just a few examples. Lees absence is all the more hurt more than he has just been awarded an honorary Oscar

After the boycott call Cheryl Boone Isaac, the (white) President announced Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, “big changes” for the next time. And as current express measure Chris Rock drawn as trump up their sleeve. The African American comedians will perform for the second time by the Oscar night. The man is known for his loose tongue and his biting comments.
In his first Moderation eleven years ago today 51-year-old has not only about individual stars but about the movie business as a whole towed. While you missed the Oscar presenters in previous years a noticeable muzzle, which made the evening always harmless and boring, you will be Chris Rock sure this time not dictate anything.
And all the world, after all, one billion TV viewers, is waiting to see whether he will comment on the “Oscars so white” -Vorwürfe. It is possible that the moderation in this year will be even more important than the gold boys themselves.
Mainstream against Arthaus, Art against Commerce
To vying ten films, the four have nominations and garnered more, with “the Revenant” as favorites, which brings it the only one to twelve nominations. so is “Revenant” director Alejandro González Iñárritu gravy train again? Last year his “Birdman” stabbed yes the second big favorites “Boyhood” almost completely. However, it is primarily a race between mainstream and arthouse cinema, commercial and art cinema
On the one hand action game like “Mad Max: Fury Road”. (ten nominations) and “Star Wars: the awakening of the night.” (five nominations) and male survival struggles alone in the forest ( “Revenant”) and in space ( “the Martians”, seven nominations)
on the other hand ambitious political films such as the newly launched also in our “Spotlight” (six nominations), recapitulates the detection of cases of abuse in the Catholic Church in the United States, or “the Big Short” (five nominations), in the big-name stars tell us the financial crisis in a cynical satire

The lesbian drama “Carol” (six nominations), at the Golden Globes traded as favorites, but then lubricated, is probably also subject at the Oscars, as well as “the Danish Girl” (four nominations) via one of the first sex change history. With minorities such as homosexuals and transsexuals, the Academy has at least as many difficulties as with African Americans. Their lobby is only small.
Low hopes for Germany
After the German selection committee has sent with “The Labyrinth of silence” a film from Oscar race had no chance from the outset and was consequently not nominated, the German hopes now focus on two men: here Patrick Vollrath, a working in Vienna Munich, whose “All will be well” is nominated for the best short film
<. p class="p_20"> And since Bernhard Henrich from Studio Babelsberg, which is placed together with two American colleagues for the production design of “Bridge of Spies”. Steven Spielberg’s Berlin film is after all also nominated six times. Each price he could einheimsen, Babelsberg likely as co-producer also claim for themselves
And so they are again all fear when the famous envelopes are opened and it says. “And the Oscar goes to … “
