5. J. Edgar
Trending
With Leonardo DiCaprio transforming into J. Edgar Hoover, J. Edgar screamed Oscar bait with its biographical focus and intense performances. Directed by Clint Eastwood in 2011, it aimed for prestige but stumbled with critics, who found it muddled and too serious. The movie wasn’t nominated for an Oscar but did snag some smaller awards for DiCaprio’s dedicated performance. Despite its ambition and cast, including Armie Hammer and Naomi Watts, it didn’t quite hit the awards-season sweet spot.
