7 Reasons Leonardo DiCaprio Hasn't Won An Oscar Yet

3. And He Hasn't Been Nominated As Much As People Seem To Think

While four Best Actor nods in twelve years (that's including the one for The Revenant) is nothing to baulk at, it still comes as a surprise - considering how much talk of his lack of Oscar glory dominates DiCaprio discourse, anyway - that the actor hasn't been nominated more in that period. The way people go on, you'd be forgiven for thinking that it's eight or nine awards he's missed out on. And while I've already gone into how the performances he has been nominated for were probably never going to win Oscar gold anyway, there's the hint that Leo's Oscar Groupies„ just assume that most of his big roles are automatically selected, an assumption that can be disproved in four seconds by the internet. Of course, not everyone needs to know exactly what DiCaprio was nominated for and when (in fact no-one has ever needed to know such things), but if you're going to get all passionately vitriolic about it, then it helps if you know and understand what you're getting so riled up about.
