It's not a joke, it's just bad luck; these are all deserved winners. Never really understood the whole "snubbed" argument; replace DiCaprio with another nominee and in turn, that person will be considered "snubbed" and so forth, and so forth. There can be only five in each category, people. How many great movies with great performances are released each year? Yeah.

Jamie Foxx, Ray did a 2 hr SNL impersonation or Ray Charles. Leonardo, should have won, and was not even nominated for Shutter Island or Django, both of which he could have won for, especially the latter. He is the best and most reliable actor of his generation, just gets passed over for very forgettable performances b/c of politics and money. Ray, is the prime example.

He will end up being like Pacino, and get an Oscar when is about 60 for a supporting role in some bad romantic comedy.

Also on the this movie, Scorsese has a grand total of 1 directing Oscar. Raging Bull and Goodfellas, were not good enough. Just shows the validity of AMPAS.
