Leonardo DiCaprio did not attends the 96th annual Academy Awards on Sunday evening even though his film Killers Of The Flower Moon was nominated.
But he did hit an Oscar after party.
Leo cut a dapper figure at the Apple Original Films Oscars celebration on Sunday night.
The 49-year-old actor — who was snubbed an Academy Award nomination — posed with his co-star Tahlee Redcorn on the red carpet at the famous Sunset Tower hotel.
Wearing a simple black T-shirt with a tuxedo jacket and matching pants, the matinee idol effortlessly exuded a cool vibe.
He led a cavalcade of stars at the glamorous event, including his Flowers of the Moon co-stars Lily Gladstone and Robert DeNiro.
Lily was nominated for Best Actress for her performance in the Martin Scorsese-directed drama but lost out to Emma Stone (Poor Things) in a surprising turn just hours earlier.

Gladstone’s loss to Stone was considered one of the biggest snubs of the ceremony, with Stone herself appearing stunned.
Behind-the-scenes snoops caught Emma in a panicked reaction backstage following her win, the second Oscar of her career as she ran to greet a friend in the same dress where she claimed to suffer a ‘wardrobe malfunction’ ahead of her speech.
A photo taken during commercial showed no hard feelings, as Gladstone smiled while gathering with Stone, fellow nominee Annette Bening and Barbie star Margot Robbie.
However, after the show, Killers of the Flower Moon director Martin Scorsese – himself having notoriously only won once for Best Director – went straight over to his star to console her.
The pair embraced in a big hug and kiss as Gladstone greeted several other well wishers.
The Apple afterparty comes after Leo, Lily, and Martin recently reunited to discuss all things Killers of the Flower Moon.
The Hollywood heavyweights posed for the cover of Variety and got candid about the making of the drama, its long runtime and the glaring Oscar snub for star Leonardo.
Cillian Murphy would go on to win Best Actor for Oppenheimer.

Lily defended her costar to the outlet, stating that both she and her parents were outraged by the omission.
‘They were pissed,’ she said. ‘He was the first to text me congratulations, with popping confetti. I told him how upset we all were.’
When 96th annual Academy Award nominations were revealed, Martin landed his 10th Best Director nod while Lily received one for Best Actress, becoming the first Native American to be nominated in that category.
The 3 1/2 hour film received a total of eight more Oscar nominations – but the Titanic star was left out in the cold.
‘My nomination is equal parts his. I would not have been able to do what I did without his generosity as an actor and as a human being,’ Lily added.
In the film, Leo plays World War I veteran Ernest Burkhart, who falls in love with an Osage woman, Lily’s Mollie Kyle.
Scorsese chimed in, arguing Leo’s performance speaks for itself.
‘He went so far into the complexities and contradictions of a man who was so weak, so malleable, who did such unspeakable things, but who also truly loved his wife,’ the filmmaking icon explained.
Lily and her guests were all smiles
Jesse Plemons looked handsome for the soiree
Bradley Thomas (L) and guest posed like pros
‘Leo fearlessly created a true Everyman … an Everyman that people just don’t want to acknowledge. So that will endure.’
Leonardo has yet to make a public statement about the snub, although he did take to his Instagram to recognize the Oscar nominations.
‘Congratulations to my dear friend @LilyGladstone for making Oscars history, as the first Native American woman to be nominated for Best Actress in Killers Of The Flower Moon, and the fourth Indigenous actress to ever earn a nomination in the category,’ he gushed.
‘And to this powerful film’s nine other nominations – telling this story with all of you has been an honor.’
As for the criticism over the movie’s length, Scorsese explained to Variety, ‘I really don’t know how to respond to it except for the fact that many people seem to go with it.
‘This one felt right [at this length], and I felt that while I was watching it. I felt inside of it.’
He also talked about hiring Lily for the role on the spot.
‘What I saw Lily do in Certain Women —how she commanded the space and the screen and the emotional impact of what appeared to be minimal and very internal—that’s what I was looking for.

‘We had just started developing the character, and I felt that Lily had it in her. That she would seriously find her.’
In January, Lily made history at the 81st Golden Globe Awards when she took home the Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama, making her the first Indigenous actor to win an award in the ceremony’s 81-year history.
In the film, Lily– who uses she/they pronouns — portrayed Burkhart, an Osage woman whose family members are tragically murdered in a plot to seize their fortune.
Gladstone, whose heritage includes Blackfeet and Nez Perce roots, is now just the second Native actress recognized by the Globes. The first was Irene Bedard, nominated in 1995 for the television movie Lakota Woman: Siege at Wounded Knee.
‘This is a historic one, and it doesn’t belong to just me,’ Gladstone said in English while accepting the Golden Globe, after opening their acceptance speech speaking in the Blackfeet language.
‘I’m holding it with all of my beautiful sisters in the film and my mother [in the film], Tantoo Cardinal.’
The star then noted that, in the past, Hollywood would create fictional Native languages instead of portraying them accurately and authentically
‘I’m so grateful that I can speak even a little bit of my language because in this business, Native actors used to speak their lines in English and then the sound mixers would run them backwards to accomplish Native languages on camera,’ Gladstone explained.
She then thanked Chief Standing Bear and the Osage Nation as well as Scorsese, and her costars Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert DeNiro, for being ‘allies’.
‘This is for every little res kid, every little urban kid, every little Native kid out there who has a dream, who is seeing themselves represented and our stories told by ourselves, in our own words, with tremendous allies and tremendous trust with each other.’
