Is Aamir Bollywood's Dicaprio?

Being a huge fan of Leo,i have always felt that the guy has been given a raw deal as far as awards are concerned. I mean the guy is one of the best actors out there, personifies versatality(just look at his filmography) and delivers one blockbuster after another..Yet he has never won an Oscar or a BAFTA and won the Golden Globes just once..Now the same pattern is repeating with Django Unchained as well..
Don't u think its the same case with Aamir Khan as well? He is a really good actor to begin with, has an amazing script sense and seldom compromises on quality..Now dont mention his flops cos am not talking about his boxoffice pull..The fact that Aamir doesn't care about awards is no excuse either.He has won the Best Actor for Raja Hindustani, Lagaan and RDB at Filmfare but never won a National Award..And i honestly feel he was brilliant in several other films like QSQT, Dil hai ki Maanta Nahi, Hum Hai Raahi Pyaar Ke, Sarfarosh, Andaz Apna Apna etc..Infact the guy has been getting recognition only after he delivered blockbusters like Ghajini and 3 Idiots..Now when Sharukh can win for DTPH, Sallu can win for Dabangg and Hrithik can win for Dhoom 2,why is poor Aamir being left out? The pattern continues with Talaash as well as has been mentioned in another topic..I personally loved the film and thought it was one of the better movies of 2012..And Aamir delivered a good performance as well..It was in noway inferior to SRK's performance in JTHJ or Salman's in Dabangg 2..Yet the other two receive recognition while Aamir is left in the lurch..Dont u guys feel the same?
P.S..I feel its the same case with Ajay as well..He is an extremely versatile actor and has delivered powerhouse performances(Zakhm anyone?) but has never received the acknowledment he deserves..
P.S.S..Am sorry if i offended any of the fans😊

Aamir Khan got awards for QSQT, Raakh, Raja Hindustani, Lagaan, RDB, Sarfarosh, TZP. I think he deserved for Rangeela, Earth, DCH also. (AAA's whole cast deserves awards)

Indian awards system are debated to death and it's a fact they do not always award the right person. In 90s many times Aamir got ignored for awards due to his lack of clean hits, not being media friendly. Later when he did become established he didn't get many awards because he'd already banned them. If you boycott or don't attend then who'd give award to you? Same reason why Naseeruddin Shah and Paresh Rawal never got awards after 80s.

National Awards have lot of other factors, influences involved. Aamir has a special jury award and 2 as producer. Only Ajay has 2 as best actor. No one else has got it. So Aamir's not the only one left out.

Other stars get awards because they attend, perform at awards. Twisted logic of Indian awards!

Aamir is the smartest cookie. He does smart movies plus once in a while releases massy movies like Ghajini so in the end, he appeals to both.

Honestly, I love Leo to death too. But the truth be told--every time Leo is nominated there is someone who was just a little bit better. Like this year, he was amazing in Django but have you seen the other performances--TOP NOTCH!

Aamir always get the raw deal b/c Indian Award shows are shit. They give out awards and nominations to the "popular" faces so garner TRPs. If they were legit, Tabu, Irfan, Nandita Das, etc wouldn't have been snubbed so many times. When a movie like Water gets banned in India and Lisa Ray's amazing performance is ignored then forget Aamir getting anything.

But I love Aamir would not going to award shows even when he is nominated--that's a strong stand and I respect him for not being a hypocrite!

@sweetcoco..I agree..I thought Bradley Cooper was brilliant..Its just that there have been many occasions when an undeserving actor has won the Oscar..So it makes me sad that a brilliant actor like Leo has'nt won it yet..And i agree about the Indian awards...Honestly speaking Irfan Khan deserves to sweep all the awards this year..But i doubt that wil happen🥱

I wouldn't say the actor that wins is "undeserving" b/c they do pick the top 5 performances even though there are like a 100 actors who played like a 1000 brilliant parts...ex: Hugh Darcy as Adam (hello!), but sometimes it's a pity win. Like I love Sandra Bullock but I think she won b/c everyone knew she probably wasn't ever gonna get nominated again b/c she's more of a rom-com gal then a dramatic actress. But Meryl Streep alway gets a nom for something but hardly ever wins b/c they can't give it to her every time...there's some shady business that goes around in the Oscars too. But I'm pissed as hell that he and Ben Affleck were snubbed this year and Michael Fassbender was snubbed last year. However, the Oscars are nothing like Filmfare/Zee Cine/Star Screen where highly undeserving people get nominated. At least they got it right with the actresses this year: Sri Devi, PC for Barfi, Kareena for Heroine, Vidya for kahani--amazing performances!

DiCaprio and Mark Wahlberg are most underrateed celebs ever...just watch both in basketball diaries & the departed...awesome acting
As for th comparison...well Aamir doesnt get thse awards cz he doesnt believe in them...not because nobody appreciates his acting
but for Leo...he attends them all whenever he is nominated

OMG!!! I saw this and it's so true...poor Leo baby never wins, but I'm so happy he still tries and creates GREAT characters and films! I'm so excited about The Great Gatsby--he's so gonna get nominated, but let's hope he wins. I wish he won best supporting for Revolutionary Road like Kate did.

I was most disappointed when Leo din win for The Departed..Honestly i thought he was brilliant even in What eating Gilbert Grape..The Academy Awards certainly have a bias against Leo's films..
Same with Aamir..i still think he was awesome in Rangeela..His performance in that movie was a notch above most of his recent flicks..Sadly he was never acknowledged enough for that performance
