Agreed, I thought he was the best choice. Loved his character in that film. Ex Machina winning best special effects was left field, Leo winning of course is cause for celebration. Cate Blanchett losing to Brie Larson was a tad disappointing, but Room is excellent. So is Carol though. Morricone rightfully received best score, Amy winning best Doc was no surprise. Mad Max took home most of the technical gold, cause it's a technical fucking masterpiece. I think best director should've gone to George Miller, but Alejandro winning two years in a row is fine, and the biggest surprise to me was Morgan Freeman uttering, even to his own amazement, Spotlight as best picture. I think the Big Short should've won that.

He's put in lots of strong performances, but not one single one I'd say was worthy of winning. I kind of feel the same way about Leo, both consistently good actors, but that doesn't mean they deserve an Oscar over someone else in a specific year. The performance I'd most like to have seen him win for is one you haven't listed, The Assassination of Jesse James. He was very subtle and powerful in that.

Casey Affleck, too. That performance was downright incredible.

Totally agree. Both are great actors, but I've never been blown away by either's performance.

Question to the grammar folk: I'm pretty sure "either's" is wrong. Is there no way to phrase this without adding a word (e.g. "either actor's")?

Pretty sure that it's simply "either".

But I feel that this would imply I'm talking about a specific performance.

Nope. Were you expecting English to make sense?

I only saw 3 movies last year, "Fury Road", like the entire Mad Max series IMO, was entertaining but has many gaping holes in the plotline, "Ex Machina" was pretty good (Alicia Vikander, dang...), the best movie I saw last year was the heartbreaking "Amy"

I have no idea how they did on Oscar night

Nope, but I was expecting to be better at understanding its nuances.
I'm currently in France though, so I'm just going to assume their collective terrible English skills are mysteriously diminishing mine as well.
