Did Leo DiCaprio Miss the Inception Oscar Train?

James Franco sawing off his arm in 127 Hours may have cut the Oscar hopes of his fellow heartthrobs in half.
The 32-year-old renaissance man is a 9-to-2 favorite to win the Academy Award for Best Actor in a few months, behind only 3-1 Jesse Eisenberg, presuming The Social Network looks as good to the Academy after the buzz has died down, and 6-5 Brit Colin Firth, who's getting raves for his role as stuttering monarch George VI in The King's Speech, currently a 2-1 fave to be named Best Picture, as well.
Also in the mix is Cristopher Nolan's magnum mind-bender Inception, a 6-1 shot for Best Picture, according to oddsmaker Bodog.com. But a win for star Leonardo DiCaprio, a three-time Oscar nominee, may be only a pipe dream.
