Leonardo DiCaprio shared his thoughts on his One Battle After Another co-star, Chase Infiniti, not receiving an Oscar nomination for her performance.
Infiniti portrayed DiCaprio’s daughter in the film, and many fans expected her to receive a nomination for Best Actress for her performance.
“She was the fabric of this movie. She was the heart and soul,” DiCaprio told the Associated Press. “There would be no One Battle After Another without the performance that she gave.”
DiCaprio praised the 25-year-old actress for her dedication and positive attitude while stepping into such a difficult role for her film debut.
“A young actress coming in to fill a role that was her first film and carrying the entire emotional weight of this movie was a near-impossible task. She should be so proud of herself and we’re all so proud of her,” he said.
DiCaprio received an Oscar nomination for Best Actor which marks his eighth nomination in his career. One Battle After Another received 13 Oscar nominations including Paul Thomas Anderson for Best Director, Teyana Taylor for Best Supporting Actress, Benicio Del Toro for Best Supporting Actor, and Best Picture.
The 98th Academy Awards will be held on March 15, 2026, and hosted by Conan O’Brien.
