De Niro, who is an outspoken critic of the president and his administration, spent some time voicing his political opinions. “There's right and there's wrong, and there's common sense and there's abuse of power,” the actor shared after Leonardo DiCaprio presented him with the award. “As a citizen, I have as much right as anybody — an actor, an athlete, anybody else — to voice my opinion,” "The Irishman" actor said. After accepting the honor, De Niro thanked DiCaprio for his words then said he was ready to get back to work. Through his career, De Niro has worked with some of Hollywood's top directors, but he's best known for his collaborations with Scorsese.
