It has been an ongoing joke that Leonardo DiCaprio has never won an Oscar, but I'd like to think that they only joke about it because it's surprising, not because it hasn't been well-deserved. Although, the joke could come to an end in 2016 if DiCaprio wins the Academy Award for his work in The Revenant.

American librarian who devised the Dewey Decimal Classification for library cataloging and, probably more than any other individual, was responsible for the development of library science in the United States. Dewey graduated in 1874 from Amherst College and became acting librarian at that institution. In 1876 he published A Classification and Subject Index for Cataloguing and Arranging the Books and Pamphlets of a Library, in which he outlined what became known as the Dewey Decimal Classification.
