Actor 
Leonardo DiCaprio first stepped on the red carpet of Academy Awards in 1994. He was nominated for for Best Supporting Actor with his performance as a young boy with development disability in 
What's Eating Gilbert Grape. The award that year went to 
Tommy Lee Jones in 
The Fugitive.
Ever since then, for more than 20 years, the actor has worked hard for the golden statue, one of the highest recognitions awarded to excellence in acting. He has come close many times, and failed each time.
