> > My reasons are yours. It's a very good movie, very well-made, but it's not Oscar material -- it's just not substantial enough. It's not overdramatic, thought-provoking, or about war or a mentally-disturbed person. It's just fun, and fun isn't good enough for the Academy.

Oh, nor mine. It's a 3.5 - 4 star movie. Worthwhile, but not outstanding. If it gets acting nods, though, I'd rather see one go to Tom Hanks. Well, except that formally recognizing Tom Hanks for his accomplishments in acting is kind of...redundant...these days. But diCaprio fit the bill and then some.
