DiCaprio vs. DiCaprio at Critics Choice Awards Nominations

Leonardo DiCaprio will face off against Leonardo DiCaprio at the 12th annual Critics Choice Awards, which will be handed out January 12.

The hard-working DiCaprio has received best actor nominations for his work as a smuggler in “Blood Diamond” and an undercover cop in “The Departed” from the Broadcast Film Critics Assn., which will announce its year-end film nominations Tuesday.

DiCaprio’s competition includes Ryan Gosling for “Half Nelson,” Peter O’Toole for “Venus,” Will Smith for “The Pursuit of Happyness” and Forest Whitaker for “The Last King of Scotland.”

Representing 200 television, radio and online critics, the BFCA bills itself as the largest film critics’ organization in the U.S. and Canada, and given its broad base, its choices often foreshadow the Oscar nominations of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

That bodes well for “Departed,” “Babel,” “Little Miss Sunshine” and “Dreamgirls,” which received seven nominations each Monday. However, DiCaprio’s double-header — the first such dual nomination in the awards’ history — is impossible under the Academy’s rules, which allow a performer to be represented by only one performance per acting category.
