First post by me, Leo Rocks!!!!!!!!!!

Hoping he wins at BAFTA's this sunday

**Cereal Killer** · 02-08-2007, 09:32 AM

He does rock!

And thanks for the title.

I hope so too. It would be his turn already.

I should probably remove the SAG stuff from the first post.

**♥Twilighter Tee♥** · 02-08-2007, 10:21 AM

I love the new thread and the title...

Well winining or not... Leo will always be OUR first choice...

**Cereal Killer** · 02-08-2007, 10:26 AM

The title is great.

I know, we don't need awards to prove his brilliance.

But it would be nice for him if he finally got some recognition.

BTW, Leo just got 2 more votes in the poll.

**♥Twilighter Tee♥** · 02-08-2007, 10:33 AM

I think one of those were from me

**Cereal Killer** · 02-08-2007, 10:43 AM

You voted today? Cool, thanks!

I think I know from whom the other one was, too.

DreamOn777 · 02-08-2007, 11:13 AM

New thread.

See,now that I've discovered this thread,I can't bring myself to leave.

And to something read on the last thread,Leo does look damn sexy in Blood Diamond.I prefer The Departed look but this was all rugged hot.If that made any sense....

I think for sure Leo will win an Oscar in at least the next 5 years(hopefully sooner).He has the talent...and he has very very good taste in the roles he picks.

***Enigma*** · 02-08-2007, 06:18 PM

New thread!

Great title.

JesseP_Break_Me · 02-08-2007, 10:14 PM

Wow, the opening post is beautiful, guys.

Love the title, so true.

**s e r e n i t y** · 02-08-2007, 11:20 PM

New thread, yay and the pictures from Leo are beautiful I hadnt seen the first post before. and the name is nice too!

I watched Blood Diamond, and I loved it! Leo was amazing in it, and the story was so touching and beautiful and I can honestly say I wont be buying any diamonds any time soon, its a beautiful movie and you all have to watch it! I preferred it to the departed and am shocked as to why it wasnt nominated for a best picture oscar! Its a bit brutal but its true, the brutlity is happening around the world!

Same here...and I haven't even seen it yet, lol.

Leo seems to like doing movies like that...which has real life aspects to it...and I really like that.

**Cereal Killer** · 02-09-2007, 08:04 AM

Glad you guys like the first post.

It was actually added in the previous thread already, I thought the thread could use some prettiness but starting a new thread is always a good chance to have another look at the 1st post.

Heh, me neither.

I'm hooked.

Yeah, I guess he's all sweaty and dirty, that's always hot.

It would be crazy if they never gave him an Oscar. And of course, the sooner the better. He does make very good movies, I agree.

I'm so glad to hear people are loving this movie and I absolutely cannot wait to see it myself. I'm sure Leo's just brilliant in it, how could he not be.

About diamonds, Leo actually said himself that people should not stop buying diamonds all together, because they are very important to those countries' economy but to make sure that the retailer has acquired them from legitimate sources.

Which one haven't you seen yet?

Yeah, I think he likes to try to make a difference also with his movies.

Aww guys, Leo's this close to being bumped back to 4th place in the poll.
