Heath should've won both of those oscars. He was amazing in both TDK and Brokeback. Also Leo was unbelievable in WEGG, really incredible.

This is a good point, they were both Oscar worthy.

I loved The Revenant, I thought he deserved it for that. Wolf of Wall Street was overrated, Matthew McConaughey was amazing in Dallas Buyers Club.

I'd like to see a female list of this, definitely include Reese Witherspoon (should've won for Legally Blonde), Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman), Liz Taylor (Butterfield 8 was so bad, she said so herself)

Leo was so good in Gilbert grape. Also the aviator. And wolf of Wall Street. And the departed (tho ya he wasn't nominated).

I totally agree. She deserved it over NatPo.

I will never understand how someone can look at this and think "yes, this is oscar-worthy acting". Embarrassing.

Meryl and Viola both should have won Oscars for Doubt.
