Sony Pictures has officially submitted Leonardo DiCaprio in the Best Actor category for the upcoming Oscar campaign. DiCaprio’s performance in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” has garnered critical acclaim and strong audience reception. The decision to submit him in this category indicates the studio’s confidence in his chances of securing a nomination. DiCaprio has previously won an Academy Award for his role in “The Revenant” in 2016, and his inclusion in the Best Actor category further solidifies his status as a renowned actor in Hollywood..
In its Oscar campaign for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Sony has decided to place Leonardo DiCaprio in the Best Actor category, therefore effectively positioning Brad Pitt in the Best Supporting Actor category. This decision makes sense, since DiCaprio won an Oscar for The Revenant not too long ago, so it is unlikely he would win another one so quickly.
Pitt’s placement in the Supporting category thus increases his chances of landing a nomination, and possibly even a win given that Pitt has been nominated three times but has yet to take home an Oscar. His previous nominations were for Best Actor for the films The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Moneyball, and Best Supporting Actor for 12 Monkeys. Other actors competing for nominations in the same category are Wilem Dafoe for The Lighthouse, Tom Hanks for A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, Al Pacino for The Irishman and Jamie Foxx for Just Mercy.
While it is strategic to separate the actors so they don’t compete against each other, this doesn’t seem to be the path that Ford v Ferrari is taking in its Oscar campaign. 20th Century Fox and Disney have decided to place both Christian Bale and Matt Damon in the same Best Actor category, which most likely will result in only one of them receiving the nomination. However, it is hard to say which actors will eventually end up with nominations, since both categories are stacked with amazing actors.

Sony has chosen to place Leonardo DiCaprio in the Best Actor category for the Oscars, positioning Brad Pitt in the Best Supporting Actor category for their film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. This decision is based on DiCaprio’s recent Oscar win for The Revenant, making it unlikely for him to win again so soon. By placing Pitt in the Supporting category, his chances of receiving a nomination and potentially winning increase. However, the film Ford v Ferrari is taking a different approach, placing both Christian Bale and Matt Damon in the Best Actor category, which may result in only one of them receiving a nomination. The competition in both categories is tough, with other talented actors vying for nominations.
