What Everyone Thinks: Whether they’ve actually seen The Revenant or not, practically the entire Internet seems convinced that Leonardo DiCaprio absolutely has to win the Best Actor Oscar this time, and if he doesn’t, the collective Academy deserves to be dunked in a fiery Hell-pit for all of eternity.

The Truth: Yes, DiCaprio has missed out on the coveted award several times despite turning in spirited performances in each instance, but consider each case on its actual merits: he was beaten by Tommy Lee Jones the first time (The Fugitive), then Jamie Foxx (Ray), then Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland) and finally Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyers Club).
