    Leonardo DiCaprio's movie Killers of the Flower Moon earned multiple nominations at the Oscars, but the man himself didn't attend to find out the results.

    DiCaprio starred alongside Robert De Niro and Lily Gladstone in the Martin Scorsese movie, which earned an impressive 10 nominations at the 96th Academy Awards last night (10 March).

    The historical drama, which details the investigation into the murders of the Osage people, even landed a nomination in the coveted Best Picture category, but still leading man DiCaprio was nowhere to be seen.

    The 49-year-old star is no stranger to the Oscars, having previously been nominated multiple times for Best Actor and securing a win in the category for his role in The Revenant.

    As a result, DiCaprio has attended the event multiple times in the past, but viewers at home were left wondering about his whereabouts when he failed to make an appearance last night.

    "Is Leonardo DiCaprio not at the #Oscars?," one viewer wrote on X.

    DiCaprio's absence comes after he was left out of the nominees for Best Actor for his role in Killers of the Flower Moon, with many fans claiming he had been 'snubbed'.

    One fan posted: "Leonardo DiCaprio in Killers of the Flower Moon is the best actor at the Oscars. Not being nominated is a joke. No one comes close to his performance. It’s not even close."

    However, while some viewers speculated it was this 'snub' that prompted DiCaprio to avoid the Oscars last night, Entertainment Tonight has reported that he actually had a scheduling conflict.

    The Oscars might be one of the biggest nights in Hollywood, but DiCaprio was busy doing what he does best last night as he was working on his upcoming Paul Thomas Anderson movie.

    In January, Deadline reported that the movie would star DiCaprio alongside Sean Penn and Regina Hall, and has been given the working title BC Project.

    Though DiCaprio wasn't at the Oscars to support Killers of the Flower Moon last night, the actor has previously praised the title and its stars.

    In a post on Instagram last month, DiCaprio described the movie as a 'powerful film that combats the erasure of Native peoples, culture, and communities'.

    "It is one that everyone should have the chance to see," he added.

    The movie's 10 nominations indicate that people agree the movie is one to watch, but unfortunately Killers of the Flower Moon failed to take home a single award last night, meaning DiCaprio wouldn't have appeared on stage even if he did attend.
