Throwback: When Leonardo DiCaprio Shared His Thoughts On Oscars Nomination And Called It A ‘Fantastic Feeling’

Leonardo DiCaprio though he has attended many Academy Awards ceremonies in his career, never quite got used to it, because it’s exciting getting nominated each time. The 49-year-old actor has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor six times as of 2024.

On the red carpet before the 2020 Oscar ceremony where he was nominated for Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood as a leading role, DiCaprio emphasized how important it was to be nominated because it brought honour. As per People, he said each nomination felt different to him.

The Titanic actor reflected on his multiple Oscar nominations, “It is that old cliché that its an honor to be nominated, but it really is.” He told Tamron Hall of ABC more about Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood, “When you work on these films for a long time you put everything you have into them to have other people recognize it like that, it’s a fantastic feeling.”

DiCaprio won the Academy Award for Best Actor in 2015 for his lead role as Hugh Glass in The Revenant, directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu. 

Speaking to Hall, he pointed out that it was Tarantino who managed to create an atmosphere which brought the best out of everybody when performing on set. Regarding his work with Pitt on Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, The Wolf of Wall Street actor expressed kinship towards Brad Pitt.

He even mentioned that they indeed shared this common understanding of how stuntman-actor dynamics should be portrayed. He stated, “Brad and I kind of came up in this industry around the same time, and we understood the dynamics of this relationship.” He elaborated on the duo’s ability to completely gel well with the stunt team. DiCaprio added, “We kind of fit into those shoes immediately which was fantastic and rare.”

Leonardo DiCaprio commended Tarantino’s genius in showing the transition from one decade’s culture to another decade’s culture in the buddy film genre, thus capturing an original relationship between him and Pitt. The Inception star said, “I just love that he brought these two sort of outsiders in the changing of this culture in 1969 and this sort of buddy film, two guys that are going through a transition.” He called Tarantino “an absolute genius” for making that happen.

‘This Is For You’: Paramore Honors Robert Pattinson With Decode Song At Eras Tour Show After Suki Waterhouse’s Opening Performance

Twilight will always be an evergreen film, and now we know it! At the latest Eras Tour stop, Hayley Williams paid tribute to Robert Pattinson’s vampire roots.

During Taylor Swift’s London show on August 17, the Paramore frontwoman gave a shoutout to Suki Waterhouse and her fiancé for her special opening performance. Before performing Paramore’s 2008 track Decode, Williams praised Waterhouse for successfully opening the London show.

“Did you guys see Suki earlier?” the lead singer asked, before leading the crowd in a round of applause, according to a fan who captured the footage.

Williams then turned the audience’s attention to Waterhouse’s longtime partner, who famously portrayed vampire Edward Cullen in Twilight alongside Kristen Stewart, a.k.a. Bella Swan, in the hit franchise.

“But I would like to dedicate this next song to Mr. Waterhouse,” Williams told the crowd. Quoting one of the fantasy film’s most iconic lines, she said, “This is the skin of a killer, Bella.”

“This is for you, Robert,” Williams added, and the band began playing the explosive intro to Decode. While it was unclear if Pattinson was present at the concert, fans definitely had a great time and went wild over it.

Waterhouse and Pattinson who began dating in 2018 and got engaged in late 2023 and welcomed a daughter in March 2024.

The beautiful Waterhouse announced her Eras Tour news—that she would take the stage at the Aug. 17 show—earlier that month. “It felt like an honor to simply exist at the same time as @taylorswift, let alone be an opener for her on the biggest and best tour ever,” she wrote on X.

“A dream come true that I never wanted to wake up from. Playing at Wembley Stadium in my hometown!” she continued. “See you August 17th at THE ERAS TOUR.”

This iconic vampire romance series, inspired by Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling novels follows the tale of Bella Swan, an ordinary high school student who finds herself entangled in a love triangle with Edward Cullen, a vampire, and Jacob Black, a werewolf.

Their complex relationships and mystical adventures captured the imaginations of fans worldwide. The original Twilight movies, released between 2008 and 2012, were successful but received mixed reviews. 

The entire franchise includes five movies released in order: Twilight (2008), The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009), The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010), The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 (2011), and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 (2012).

Pattinson has carved out a name in the industry through his character in this franchise and even today it is clear that fans love and remember this character as the charming vampire on screen.

Logan Co-Writer Reveals Thoughts On Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine’s Opening Scene: ‘People Had Warned…’

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s latest superhero movie, Deadpool & Wolverine, continues to break records. It has reportedly become the highest-grossing R-rated movie ever, earning $1.086 billion at the global box office. The epic, adventure-packed film featured many nail-biting scenes and surprising cameos. Recently, the co-writer of Jackman’s 2017 film Logan shared his thoughts on the opening scene of this newly-released Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, for which the Prisoners actor reprised his beloved character Wolverine.
 

In a recent interview with IGN, Michael Green, the co-writer of Logan, opened up about his reaction when he saw Deadpool & Wolverine and how he was surprised watching its opening sequence.

The movie’s opening scene shows Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool digging up Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine from Logan, using his adamantium skeleton to take out a group of Time Variance Authority officers, per THR. 

Green told the publication, “People had warned me ahead of time, ‘Uh, I don’t know how you’re gonna feel about the opening [of Deadpool & Wolverine],'” adding, “I’m like, ‘I think I know what’s gonna happen.’ And I did not know! I didn’t know they were gonna go that far.” The Green Lantern writer added, “You weren’t meant to take seriously that they were, like, digging him up and that it was really him.”

He further expressed that the scene seemed less about changing the ending of Logan and more about the creators contending with not feeling that they wanted to make a movie as good as they felt Logan was, which he saw as a huge compliment. He emphasized that the scene “felt like it was nothing but complimentary.”

Green said he had such a good time watching the film, recalling that when he saw it in a full theater, the audience “went bananas,” adding that it’s a great franchise. He also noted that he appreciated that the sequel did not make any jokes about the 2011 Green Lantern (he co-wrote), which received negative reviews.
