Leonardo DiCaprio Ditched Major Award Shows to Focus on This Personal Chapter After Nomination Snubs

Leonardo DiCaprio might be the star and producer of one of this year’s most-nominated films, Killers of the Flower Moon, but the actor has been notably absent from several award shows this season.

While other A-listers and his co-stars, Lily Gladstone and Robert De Niro, spent this past weekend bouncing from red carpet to red carpet at the SAG Awards, the Film Independent Spirit Awards and the Producers Guild Awards, DiCaprio stayed far away.

Leonardo DiCaprio was seen with Vittoria Ceretti before skipping the SAG Awards.

DiCaprio, 49, instead spent time with his girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, mere miles away from the Los Angeles award shows. In photos obtained by the Daily Mail, the actor was seen hanging out with his 25-year-old model girlfriend in West Hollywood on Thursday before stars hit the SAG Awards red carpet the Saturday evening.

DiCaprio and Ceretti, who were also spotted hanging out in Europe recently during Paris Fashion Week, kept a low-profile in casual clothes while running errands.

Then, on Feb. 26, the outlet shared photos of DiCaprio on the set of his new Paul Thomas Anderson film with co-star Teyana Taylor. The group are filming in Sacramento, California.

DiCaprio did step out at several recent award shows including the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards but has been a surprising absence having also opted to ditch the BAFTAs. Despite the Martin Scorsese-directed film getting nods in several major award categories from Best Picture to Best Director, DiCaprio surprisingly didn’t land a Best Actor nomination at the BAFTAs, SAG Awards or the Oscars.

Meanwhile, Gladstone and DeNiro received Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor nods at almost every major award show with Gladstone already securing Golden Globes and SAG Award wins.

Despite the snubs, DiCaprio’s personal life seems to be going from strength to strength with insiders reporting back in November that the couple were “in love.” The duo have been linked since September 2023 and were spotted on a vacation with DiCaprio’s family and friends in January before continuing their jet-setting at fashion week and back to LA for DiCaprio’s latest acting gig.

While we’re still holding out hope for a red carpet debut for these two, only time will tell whether DiCaprio breaks his award season hiatus for an appearance at the Oscars next month.
