13. One Battle After Another is Leonardo DiCaprio’s 12th movie to be nominated for best picture – drawing him level with Robert de Niro.
The Godfather Part II (1974) was de Niro’s first appearance in the top category, before he continued his streak with films such as Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Joker and The Irishman.
DiCaprio’s first appearance, meanwhile, was for 1997’s Titanic, continuing through The Departed, Inception and Django Unchained.
Both actors notched up another one when they appeared together in 2023’s Killers of the Flower Moon.
Meanwhile, One Battle director Paul Thomas Anderson could pull off a rare Oscars trifecta by personally winning three Oscars for writing, directing and producing – a combo that has only been achieved by 10 other filmmakers.
And DiCaprio’s co-star Sean Penn could join Frances McDormand, Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Ingrid Bergman and Walter Brennan by winning his third Oscar for acting. (Katharine Hepburn is ahead of them all, however, with four.)
