DiCaprios Thumbs Up After Historic BAFTA Loss

Leonardo gave a sheepish thumbs up after missing out yet another award at the star-studded ceremony at London's Royal Festival Hall on Sunday. 

The Hollywood star, 51, has become the most-BAFTA-nominated actor in history with a whopping seven under his belt but has only once won in 2016 for The Revenant.

In the past Leo has been been nominated for his roles in The Aviator, The Departed, The Wold Of Wall Street, Once Upon a Time In Hollywood and Don't Look Up.

His new movie One Battle After Another was the big winner as it scooped six gongs after receiving a record 14 nominations, including Best Actor. 

However Leonardo and Timothée Chalamet, who was tipped to win for his role in Marty Supreme, were both beaten in a shock win for I Swear's Robert Aramayo.

Following the ceremony The Titanic star, who is also nominated for an Oscar next month, put on a brave face following the loss.

While won Best Actress honour for her role in Hamnet, One Battle For Another was awarded Best Film.

The movie's producer Sarah Murphy said: 'We wish more than anything that our producing partner Adam Somner could be here to accept this on behalf of us on his home turf.'

Director and producer Paul Thomas Anderson said: 'Thank you for rewarding our film in the way that you have, its just a tremendous honour. 

'I'm well aware of the other films that share this. Anybody that says movies aren't any good any more they can piss off because this is just a great f*****g year.'

He added that he planned to go and find a 'bar somewhere to go celebrate.'

During the winner's Press Conference, Paul Anderson reflected on working with Leonardo.

He said: 'I think with Leo, it's one long run on sentence. It's when you start to work with him. He's asking questions. He's curious. 

'He wants to take the whole thing apart and put it back together again and make sure that he has covered every possibility within a scenario. 

'This is a great gift, by collaborating with him, he's not just an actor, he's a terrific writer and his understand of his role and the entire story, is his super power.' 

The biggest loser of the evening was the highly acclaimed ping pong drama Marty Supreme, which went into the evening as one of the favourites, with 11 nominations. It came away completely empty-handed.

Jessie, who is already tipped as a favourite to win the Oscar for Best Actress, used her acceptance speech to thank her fellow nominees.

She said: 'This is really such an incredible honour. As a little girl I never thought in a million years I would be allowed to make a film but here I am. 

'When I arrived into my agent Lindy King in London, and I had nuclear bad fake tan on, white hoop earrings, a polka dot red skirt and dress, and I had the audacity to say to her that I dreamed to someday be something like Judi Dench. 

'I don't know how on gods green earth she even dreamed that was possible. Thank you Lindy for always encouraging me to be disobedient and curious and human.

'This really does belong to the women who have taught me and continue to teach me how to do it differently.'

Thanking her fellow nominees, Jessie forgot to include Kate Hudson and asked the audience: 'Who have I left out?' 

She then added 'I am in awe of all your incredible performances thank you.' 

'Maggie O'Farrell thank you for this role. You brought the mother out of the shadows and stood her next to that absolute giant that is Shakespeare.'

One Battle After Another earned the most nods with 14, including one for lead star Leonardo DiCaprio
