National Board of Review, first of the big annual awards, names its winners in December, but gala came Tuesday. Last arrival, DiCaprio. I didn’t recognize him. He sped in. No model around him or attached to his various parts. Maybe she was at the table. Maybe elsewhere. Maybe actors even sometimes have an off day. Or night. Or weekend. Or crappy audition.

Leo nabbed best actor for his thriller “One Battle After Another,” where he’s playing a counter culture activist. He told me last month that his hippie dad informed the character, but Leo himself “can’t live off the grid for more than a few days. I get bored.” Right.

National Board of Review Gala is always at Cipriani 42nd Street. Each female behind was smaller........
