The more comedic performance brings to mind recent DiCaprio roles inDon’t Look UpandOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Truthfully, we haven’t seen much from DiCaprio’s performance.
His character is clearly someone who repeatedly encounters trouble and is kicked by life while he’s already down.
He’s ultimately a dad who wants to save his daughter, which is easily relatable for any parent.

The acclaimed director has helped nine different performances get Oscar nominations over the years.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s earliest Oscars success came withBoogie Nights.
Burt Reynolds and Julianne Moore were nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress, respectively.
Phantom Threadwas the last Paul Thomas Anderson movie to get actors Oscar nominations.
Overall, PTA’s movies are responsible for nine acting Oscar nominations and one win.
I’m fairly confident DiCaprio will become the fourth.
Just because DiCaprio already has six Oscar nominations, that doesn’t mean he’s not worthy of more.

I could see it happening, but it is too early to firmly predict that.
