The Oscars are coming up soon and we all know who's going to win Best Actor in a Leading Role this year right? The great Leonardo DiCaprio of course! Despite his superb performances in all of his films during his career, he has yet to win an Academy Award. So as tribute and as a way to wish him luck during the Awards Ceremony this year, your task is to print "Leonardo DiCaprio" (without quotes and case-sensitive) without using any letters in his name in your code. This is code-golf so the shortest code wins. Score is based on your code in bytes. Any language is acceptable.

-100 Points if you can print his name on an ascii plate like so (Best Actor not required): 

 _____________________________
|                             |
|      Leonardo DiCaprio      |
|         Best Actor          |
|_____________________________|

Edit For clarification, the rule for not "using any letters in his name in your code" is case-insensitive.

Also another edit you may use spaces.

  • \$\begingroup\$ I should have phrase my question clearer. Do you allow lowercase c, or is it forbidden since uppercase C is in his name? \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ This can be trimmed down by using base-36 encoding of the long integers, reducing each with 3 characters. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @jpjacobs I think base-36 would use some of the letters that aren't permitted. \$\endgroup\$

HTML/Markdown, 96 bytes

&#76;&#101;&#111;&#110;&#97;&#114;&#100;&#111;&#32;&#68;&#105;&#67;&#97;&#112;&#114;&#105;&#111;

This works even with the strictest rule (no space, no letter case-insensitive).

Markdown, 194 - 100 = 94 bytes

This is the fancy version, so it uses quite a lot of bytes (UTF-8). At the end of the first 2 lines are 2 spaces.

╔════════════╗  
║&#76;&#101;&#111;&#110;&#97;&#114;&#100;&#111;&#32;&#68;&#105;&#67;&#97;&#112;&#114;&#105;&#111;║  
╚════════════╝

How it looks (may or may not look good depending on the font face):

╔════════════╗
║Leonardo DiCaprio║
╚════════════╝

Markdown, 142 - 100 = 42 bytes

This is the poor man's version. No Unicode character is used, so quite lightweight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
| &#76;&#101;&#111;&#110;&#97;&#114;&#100;&#111;&#32;&#68;&#105;&#67;&#97;&#112;&#114;&#105;&#111; |  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It looks like a cookie to me:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| Leonardo DiCaprio |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This took a little working out... instead of printing, it pushes the result as an alert... best I could do... trying to make this code do a document.write would have floored me...
