Martin Scorsese Claims Leonardo DiCaprio’s Performance In Killers Of The Flower Moon Does Not Need An Oscar

Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio have been working since the early 200s. They first came together for Gangs Of New York in 2002. Killers Of The Flower Moon was their sixth collaboration. During an interview with Variety, Martin Scorsese spoke about Leonardo DiCaprio being snubbed by the Oscars this year. According to the talented filmmaker, the Titanic star does not need an Oscar for his excellent performance in Killers Of The Flower Moon. He said-

“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. Leo fearlessly created a true Everyman … an Everyman that people just don’t want to acknowledge. So that will endure.”
