We can see the 'angle' the NY Post reporter is going with tomorrow via her tweet

Finally Leo !!

Well so far via Nikki's insta we know Lukas and Tobey are in same box as her And we just saw Bert & Helly in insta story, so if Leo is there =he's in same box

From NY Post sighting of Leo & Kevin at Super Bowl party On Saturday, Michael Rubin hosted his annual Fanatics bash at 3Labs in Culver City, where guests including Travis Scott, Kevin Hart, Shaquille O’Neal, Eli Manning, Charlie & Dixie D’Amelio, Robert Kraft and many more mingled as Megan Thee Stallion and Doja Cat performed. Spies told Page Six that Leonardo DiCaprio quietly snuck into the party and hung out in the VIP section with his p—y posse pal Kevin Connolly.

From these new JJ pix from last night, looks like Leo's pals Helly & Bert are ,also, in town , plus we can see Chuck with him

Liljak I would say for sure Leo will attend, and , hopefully, we'll get new pix Infact I saw an article earlier this week guessing which celeb the announcers would mention first At same time, I read that the suite, like Leo was in for the recent playoff game, for the Superbowl the prices to rent one went from $245,000 to $800,000 Also, I think, besides the fact that , like with playoff game, lots of his close friends are attending, the fact that he knows Rams' quarterback Matthew Stafford who recently said in interview that he would have Leo play him in a movie, is another reason he will be in attendance Bieber concert /after party I noticed that Leo's pal Vinny , via his insta story , was ,also, at the Bieber's concert , so even though the TMZ only mentions Leo & Tobey, probably a group of his long time pals were with Leo last night at concert /after party

From TMZ mention of Superbowl party that Leo and Tobey attended last night

Posting this here in regard to ongoing discussion

Pix from last night's DLU cast Zoom Q&A

Jade First, great eye noticing the blonde haired guy was Baz Next, tks, for all the wonderful Leo visuals I'm greeted with this morning Definitely agree in recent years the one time the world as a whole jumped for joy watching the Oscar was when Leo won

New pix of Leo and Tobey out at restaurant on Tuesday night, not sure who all of the people are at table, but at one point they do talk with Once costar Austin Butler https://www.justjared.com/2022/02/09/leonardo-dicaprio-tobey-maguire-run-into-a-hot-rising-star-during-their-night-out-photos/ YouNoMe The top blanket pic has always been one of my favorites

Sugarwater I meant to post this article from LA Times yesterday , it is about the Cherokee film initiative that you alerted us to Also extending Congrats to Quentin on news that baby #2 is on the way

Leo's Appian Way has a new production debuting soon. I remember when Leo was rumored to play Teddy in a film directed by Scorsese Akatosh Tks for funny video & more DLU press conference pix Jade Yes , my movie's friend's thoughts on Leo/Oscar made sense to me ,too

Jade Yes, I agree Hannibal is an iconic movie character At same time , like you, I can only hope that Jesse has more screen presence as Tom White in KOTFM

Sugarwater & Akatosh First, as to Oscars , since Leo is now in the industry at the status to hand out BP Oscar awards, we might well get a welcome surprise when the curtain opens Oscar night At same time as far as SAG ensemble, I was discussing the Oscar nods with my movie board friend last night, and naturally he said I know you were disappointed 'your man' didn't get a nod as you do like to see him in a tux = so true And he brought up the fact that Anne Thompson and other movie bloggers mentioned in early Jan that Leo was doing no individual campaigning during the award season. Which led him to speculate that , like TD years ago, the studio and actors agreed that Netflix would only promote/campaign them as an ensemble = no one as a lead . And I did notice during the award season you never saw any individual FYC ads for Leo or any other cast members. He agreed that while of the cast Leo did get the most praise over all for his performance , Leo never actively campaigned like he did for Revenant or as GaGa was doing this season, , because his only concern was for the film and the ensemble as a whole to be acknowledged which there were by Critics Choice & SAG group. So while some may contend he was just trying to make a Leo fan feel better about his name not being called , at same time he may well be right that Leo wasn't expecting or actively seeking a nod for this film And if Leo's main focus was on the ensemble being recognized , he might well attend the SAG even though he received no individual nod

Akatosh & Sugarwater As to SAGS Leo didn’t attend when Titanic received ensemble nod & he no individual, so we’ll have to see I think if Hank’s momma Meryl attends , we have a better chance of him showing As to BAFTAS , I think he might attend with Adam for several reasons : He did get individual nod He always enjoy BAFTA after parties Suppoesdly the DLU team had originally planned on doing some UK / Europe promotion , so his presence on red carpet would show his continuing appreciation of support from fans worldwide Plus the BAFTA Academy bloc is a very influential bloc when it comes to Oscar nods/ wins = can we say Mark Rylance , Gary Oldman for Tinker Spy , and this year Judith Dench , so , I think , a clever lad like Leo knows the importance moving forward ( KOTFM) to show appreciation for being acknowledged And last , but certainly not least , as you say there is Kate i

Akatosh I'm familiar with book Nightmare Alley , as well as, I saw the original film with Tyrone Power, and , I might be wrong , but I think Leo's portrayal may have been closer to Power's version = by that I mean , at least to me , from the start of the new version Stan is a self serving character = always out for his own gain = and he remains that way throughout = thus , we the viewer remains detached from him throughout the course of the film , and thus when he gets his comeuppance at the end we only feel that he got what he deserved In the original version Power is portrayed more a mix of an ambitious young man combined with elements of Randall Mindy = a man who is becomes so taken with his success /fame that he loses his center = and while , yes, we see Stan still being very self serving at times , we ,also, see a more human /caring Stan = thus while his ultimate fate may have been deserved , in the Power's version we feel more empathy for him Jade As to Leo/Brad/age/Nightmare = yes, in the book Stan in in his early thirties, thus why it seemed odd in the opening sequences of the film for another character to refer to him as boy /young man = something del Toro could have easily adjusted in script due to casting older actors Magical Regarding comment below , if they can give BP and BA to a film based on a character who eats people's face off , then awarding a film about a man who was heavy drug user /made money off of others , should not have deterred them = Silence of the Lamb and Anthony Hopkins Personally, I think, like Jade, Matthew was awarded due to his substantial weight loss for role combined with the fact that the Academy could pat themselves on the back that they were awarding a performance that dealt with an important social issue = Aids and lack of availability of treatments And while I enjoyed DLU on its own merits , I do think, one of the reasons it got into BP was due to the fact that it is the one film nominated that deals with current social issues = so again the Academy can pat themselves on the back that they do support films dealing with important social issues Sugarwater Since research shows Leo rarely attends any award shows if he is not personally nominated ( he even didn't attend Critics Choice awards when he did have a BA nod for Once ) the only way personally I could envision Leo being at Oscars this year was if he was asked to give out BP award which would require him to only appear on stage at very end as he did in the past at a GG ceremony one year

Jade Yes, do check it out and let us know your take I thought Kidman's performance was worthy of nod, but , for my taste, that was it . I didn't feel Leo was more worthy of a nod than Will, Andrew, or Benedict , but I felt he was more worthy than Bardem Mirella Forgot to respond to your text about Lucifer , yes, I watched that series on regular tv before it moved to streaming. I was a fan of Tom's in British comedy series Miranda, as well as, the British series The Secrets of Crickley Hall & Monday Monday

Britell who did the score for DLU has been nominated twice in the past for Oscars , so it could be he had going in more fans among Academy voters which helped him get a nod even though the song didn't But , like Akatosh above, I'm a fan of the DLU score Also regarding Ricardos = what is amazing is it wasn't nominated in ANY other category , yet got 3 acting nods

Jade As always everyone has their own perceptions of films and performances , I wasn't a fan of Ricardos as a film, and personally , for my taste, I would not have nominated Bardem over Leo for BA , and nor would I have given a SA nod to Jesse P for POD And while I'm disappointed Leo didn't get a nod, I'm shocked that Lady Gaga, who received all the precursor nods ( GG, CC, SAG, BAFTA) for BA didn't get an Oscar nod , that rarely happens

Alas the Oscar BA 5 matched SAG 5 = No Leo But Congrats to DlU for Oscar nods for score, original screenplay, and editing , and BP

Some nice comments about Leo from a girl who played one of Ariana's friends who we saw in the green room with Leo & Jen

I didn't realize when I saw this article about Ellen DeGeneres new gorilla refuge in Rawanda, that Leo was a backer with several facilities on site named in honor of his parents ypost.com/2022/02/01/ellen-degeneres-gorilla-campus-in-rwanda-opens-to-public/ Thanks to ALL for lastest Leo related articles & vids
