I saw it in theatre recently, I loved it! I haven't read the book yet, but I hope to soon (it's pretty short so it isn't a problem). I haven't seen earlier adaptions though!
My favourite parts of the movie were the music and the cinemagraphy to be honest! The acting and everything was also awesome, it was just a really quality movie! I don't know if Leo will get an oscar, it's a running gag that Leonardo DiCaprio will never get an oscar haha... He deserves it though! I wouldn't be too hopeful though, as there are bound to be more movies this year that will be so ~deep~ that they'll appeal to the Academy more. In my opinion, it weren't always the most deserving moves/actors that got an Oscar!
It's bound to get plenty of awards anyway, beautiful sets and scenery, and terrific acting! And amazing costumes! Like I said, the music was my favourite part of the movie, it included a lot of my favourite artists, haha... Lana Del Rey, Florence and the Machine, Beyonce and Jay-Z, and many others! Amazing
My favourite was that they mentioned that Daisy and Tom had a child like twice during the entire movie. I'm not even sure if Gatsby knows she has a kid. Parents of the year haha
