    De Niro is an actor who is there for the work, not the fame nor prizes. He has always been gracious when accepting an award, and I'm sure he would be happy to win another Oscar...but at this point in his career, my guess is he's good for now.

    I just wanted to second Brian's opinion about Towering Inferno being pretty good. (Maybe he could do a video about cheesy 70s disaster movies at the Oscars? That's probably one of my favorite genres, and I know how Brian likes genre films.) Definitely better than any of the Airport movies or Earthquake. I do kind of like Poseidon Adventure a bit more for some reason?

He totally deserved his nominations in both The Deer Hunter and Taxi Driver two extremely iconic performances from de Niro. He is a screen legend for the ages. His portfolio of work over the last 50 years is super impressive. He is truly one of the all time greatest actors in Hollywood.

I do think he was more deserving to win this year for Killers Of The Flower Moon than Downey Jr in Oppenheimer (but I was also more impressed with Mark Ruffalo in Poor Things as well).

    Thanks once again, Brian, for an excellent video. Cody always adds positively to your content. Re DeNiro: He is a highly talented actor who "prostituted" himself by making a few crappy movies just for the money. These are "Dirty Grandpa" and a few others that I understand were terrible. I did not see them. Apparently, Robert's former wife, Grace, spent a lot of money on high-priced clothes and other luxuries. These expenses put DeNiro in debt, from what I have heard, so he felt he needed to act in any movie that came his way, despite the very poor content.
    Re future Oscar noms/wins: I think that his time has passed. The younger audiences apparently don't full appreciate his talents and want to give nominations to the younger actors. A prime example, of course, is Robert Downey Jr's win in "Oppenheimer" over DeNiro's performance -- excellent, IMO -- in "Killers of the Flower Moon."

    De Niro is one of my all-time favorite actors and imo his Raging Bull performance is top 5 ever, but I would have given the 1974 supporting award to John Huston for Chinatown over John Cazale for Godfather II and Peter Boyle in Young Frankenstein. Then De Niro. Huston oozed evil like few others ever have, he was brilliant.

    His Raging Bull win is up there in the vein of Meryl Streep for Sophie's Choice and Daniel Day Lewis for There will be blood.

    #theawardscontender one thing I'd like you to look at when it comes to Robert De Niro is he's the only actor of 'The Big 4'; De Niro, Nicholson, Pacino & Hoffman that's worked with his contemporaries. De Niro & Nicholson were in The Last Tycoon together. De Niro and Pacino were in; Heat, Righteous Kill & The Irishman together. Finally, De Niro & Hoffman were in; Sleepers, Wag the Dog and a couple Focker movies together. Yet, Nicholson never worked with Pacino or Hoffman and the same for Hoffman with Nicholson & Pacino. None of them have worked together except for working with De Niro. I always found that interesting.

His performance in "This Boy's Life", also where he plays an unlikeable character, could have also been nominated. It wouldn't have won to Tom Hanks in "Philadelphia", but it could have gotten a nod.

    DeNiro is more like Bette Davis or Jodie Foster his wins come early and rather close together .I think many do come closer together than far apart with some obvious exceptions.

    Cody is misinformed. Although both Adler's and Strasberg's acting methods share similarities in their foundation on Stanislavski's acting technique, they are distinctively different int their application of imagination vs substitution. Marlon Brando's acting education is built on Stella Adler's acting technique of imagination rather than Lee Strasberg's method of substitution. Brando emphasised this in his autobiography 'Songs My Mother Taught Me" stating: ''After I had some success, Lee Strasberg tried to take credit for teaching me how to act. He never taught me anything. He would have claimed credit for the sun and the moon if he believed he could get away with it. He tried to project himself as an acting oracle and guru. Some people worshiped him, but I never knew why. I sometimes went to the Actors Studio on Saturday mornings because Elia Kazan was teaching, and there were usually a lot of good-looking girls, but Strasberg never taught me acting. Stella did -- and later Kazan.''

    Everyone knows the Oscars are rigged. The true value of an artist has nothing to do with prizes; but what they bring to the table which is very subjective. I loved De Niro in Deer Hunter, Godfather 2, Taxi Driver, Mean Streets, Heat, Goodfellas and Casino. What all these films have is not just the actor but the whole sum of its parts - the director, the sets, the costumes, the music, the budget, the story and the other 1000 people involved. De Niro was never a real man, but the characters people loved. He's now distroyed that. His mystique is gone. He is only a complaining old man who has ruined his films for me. Kevin Spacey said in an interview when he meets people in the street and they talk about his films and the characters he plays, there is nothing more satisfying. But Spacey is proof there are great actors.
