Titanic: James Cameron’s epic romantic disaster film, Titanic broke all records at the box office and was praised unanimously. The film was nominated for 14 Oscars tying its record with All About Eve, but the strange fact that shocked everyone was that the leading man Leo was not even in nominated in the Best Actor category! If the actor would have nominated in the category, the film would have become the most nominated film of all time.

The Wolf of the Wall Street: The actor not winning an Oscar became a social media buzz and many believed the actor is cursed to never win an Oscar. Leo starred as Jordan Belfort, a stockbroker in New York City. The film was a major success and marked the reunion of Leo and Scorsese for their sixth film together for the actor's Oscar.
