Actor claims it was secretly 'EDITED' behind his back
De Niro, 80, struggled to get through his speech before claiming it was cut down He still went back and read his comments blasting former President Trump The actor later said he didn't 'feel like thanking' the sponsors: 'How dare they?'
Robert De Niro was fuming on Monday night when an allegedly edited speech he was delivering via prompter caused him to mess up his lines.
The 80-year-old acting icon was on hand at Gotham Independent Film Awards in New York City to deliver a speech in tribute to his critically acclaimed Western crime epic Killers Of The Flower Moon, directed by his longtime friend and collaborator Martin Scorsese.
But during the speech, which preceded him accepting the Gotham Historical Icon and Creator Tribute award on the film's behalf, the Taxi Driver star appeared to get confused and paused, before backtracking and trying to explain what had thrown him off.
De Niro — was joined at the Gotham Awards by his costars Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone — made it clear that he had originally planned to include several cutting remarks about former President Donald Trump, but he seemingly accused the awards show and Apple, which produced Killers Of The Flower Moon, of having edited his remarks.
Trump has long been despised by De Niro, and the star has bashed him mercilessly for years ever since stepping up his public criticisms ahead of the 2016 election. Last month, De Niro sent a statement to be read in his absence at the Stop Trump Summit, which was organized by The New Republic magazine.
The De Niro incident comes as British right-wing politician Nigel Farage had his remarks about his friendship with Donald Trump edited from a UK reality show, sparking censorship claims.

“shut up and act!!”
love the acting, despise the man.
DeNiro is a cowardly little punk.
Michael Savage had it right, “Liberalism is a mental disorder”,
For those who have never heard of the organization like me who was in NYC for the first 20 years of this org’s existence.
The Gotham Film & Media Institute (also simply the Gotham), formerly known as the Independent Filmmaker Project (IFP), is a membership-based, not-for-profit organization dedicated to independent film. It offers programs that assist independent filmmakers in connecting with film-industry professionals and, ultimately, audiences, and presents the annual Gotham Awards.
Formerly called Independent Filmmaker Project (IFP)
It was founded in 1979 by independent filmmakers as the Independent Filmmaker Project (IFP). Under the IFP umbrella, the New York City organization has over 5,000 members. Affiliated regional organizations are based in Chicago, Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Phoenix, and Seattle. Since March 2019, Jeffrey Sharp has been the executive director of the organization.
In January 2021, the IFP announced its rebranding as the Gotham Film & Media Institute.
This year, the organization has removed the budget cap requirements which they claim will create “a more inclusive submission pool” of potential nominees. In previous years, to be eligible for the Gothams, a film’s budget couldn’t exceed $35 million. “We’re excited to include more voices from around the globe by expanding eligibility for the many brilliant international films and filmmakers who deserve to be in consideration this year,” said Jeffrey Sharp, executive director of the Gotham Film & Media Institute. “Additionally, with shifting budgets, we’ve decided to eliminate arbitrary budget caps for submission eligibility – first instituted over a decade ago – to broaden our reach in terms of recognition and accessibility to the wider community,” he concluded.
The films Air, Barbie, Ferrari, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, and Rustin all received tribute awards.
Apparently, the producers of these movies fund IFP and want their recognition.
How did Barbie qualify for any award at any awards show?
Dance little monkey. Dance!
BIDEN/DINERO (yes) 2024!!
He is a pedophile. He flew overseas to rape numerous underage black girls.
Why did he have $30 million confiscated in July 2017 by the US Treasury Department? Why did he never contest the seizure? Why did his long time wife divorce him in 2019?
Connect the dots. It’s all there.
TDS Personified...
Bobby trying to give Slow Joe a run for his money on senility.
Pedophile....Along with Colbert, Hanks, Reiner, and a large group who scream the loudest about Trump.
Dance little monkey. Dance!
From the movie 'Zoolander':

DeNiro Next Role Rumored To Be
Star Of C’mon Man: The Joe Biden
Story
High School Bobby thinks that being able to memorize and mouth words that intelligent people have written for him makes him intelligent.
It doesn’t anymore than playing Don Corleone makes him a gangster but he doesn’t know this berceuse he is a moron.
Trump tried to stop the flow of drugs into our neighborhoods, High School Bobby’s grandson die of illegal drugs - a decent person would credit Trump and try to fight illegal drugs instead of foaming at the mouth like a leftist simpleton.
