Leonardo DiCaprio’s new bod and scores of nominations!

Without question, the best actor of his generation, Leonardo DiCaprio shines anew on his latest awards-bound film, Blood Diamond co-starring with the venerable Djimon Hounsou. The film, both touching and compelling tackles the unflattering aspect of the diamond industry with Leo playing the role of a smuggler caught by military men on the borders of Sierra Leone and Liberia. Here are his shirtless video capture from the movie:


2006 was a good year again for Leo, reminiscent of the Catch Me If You Can and Gangs Of New York years ago. Here are some of his multiple nods for both Blood Diamond and his other flawless film, The Departed:
