The Wolf of Wall Street was an incredibly popular film this year, featuring some of Hollywood’s best. Although Leonardo DiCaprio has been nominated for the Academy Award several other times, this could be the year he takes home the Oscar for Actor in a Leading Role and an Oscar for Producer.
According to the Associated Press, DiCaprio said, "I've never been a part of a film that had this sincere level of controversy around it. But I want to have films out there that cater to an audience that I think is yearning for something that is a little more outlandish."
The Wolf of Wall Street is a bold story about a wealthy stockbroker, Jordan Belfort. DiCaprio has been involved with important movies before that have been won Best Picture, including Titanic and The Departed. Martin Scorsese won Best Achievement in Directing for The Departed, so perhaps this winning team might bring home another award for their newest work.
The 86th Annual Academy Awards will take place at the Dolby Theatre. The show will air on March 2 on ABC.
