At Sunday’s 2024 Golden Globe Awards, Leonardo DiCaprio could walk away with his fourth win, for 2023’s Killers of the Flower Moon.

Here, see every time DiCaprio was nominated for a Golden Globe Award — and whether or not he won.
1994: Best Supporting Actor, ‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape’
Did he win? No
At just 19 years old, DiCaprio scored his first-ever Golden Globe Award nomination for the supporting role of Arnie in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.
“He worked really hard on that film and spent a lot of time researching,” costar Johnny Depp told EW in 2016. “He came to set and he was ready to work hard and all his ducks were in a row.”
The Fugitive’s Tommy Lee Jones won in the category that year.
1998: Best Actor, ‘Titanic’
Did he win? No
For his role as Jack in the beloved 1997 classic, DiCaprio earned his second nomination but once again lost, this time to Peter Fonda of Ulee’s Gold.
2003: Best Actor, ‘Catch Me If You Can’
Did he win? No
Moviegoers had a ball watching DiCaprio step into the shoes of the slick Frank Abagnale Jr., but Jack Nicholson ultimately won in the category that year for About Schmidt.
2005: Best Actor, ‘The Aviator’
Did he win? Yes!
DiCaprio earned his first Golden Globe Award in 2005 for his performance as the intriguing aviator Howard Hughes.
“I’m incredibly honored,” he said in his acceptance speech, nodding to the film’s cast and crew. “Growing up in this business and truly wanting to be a part of the world of film, I’m a truly privileged person standing here today but I must say the pinnacle of all that has been to work alongside one of the greatest contributors to the world of cinema of our time, and that is the great Martin Scorsese.”
He also thanked his “amazingly supportive and loving parents,” and urged viewers to contribute to those suffering in the wake of the 2004 tsunami in Indonesia.
2007: Best Actor, ‘The Departed’

DiCaprio was actually up against himself that year (as well as Peter O’Toole, Will Smith and Forest Whitaker) for his work in the starry The Departed and …
2007: Best Actor, ‘Blood Diamond’
Did he win? No
… Blood Diamond. However two nominations couldn’t help him top Whitaker, who won for The Last King of Scotland.
2009: Best Actor, ‘Revolutionary Road’
Did he win? No
Reteaming with Titanic costar Kate Winslet helped his film and his performance earn buzz, but in 2009 he lost to the comeback kid, Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler.
