DeNiro Won’t Present Any Major Awards for the First Time in 28 Years: “He’s Become Unbearable”
According to reports, Robert Deniro has been axed as a presenter from every major awards show coming up this season:
Hollywood’s elite awards ceremonies take months of planning. There’s so much involved that the duties are split between different committees.
One of the more difficult is the Presenter’s Committee since they must choose and vet dozens of people. Before they begin, each member gets to disqualify one presenter by secret ballot. This year, Oscar Committee all voted for Robert DeNiro.
“Nobody wants to see him stand there and recite his angry speech. He looks so silly behind the podium. Like a little white Papa Smurf,” said James Woods, “He’s lost all credibility.”
This year’s Oscar Chairman, Joe Barron, says he’s pretty sure no awards show will invite DeNiro to the stage anytime soon. “He’s a toxic little goon,” said Barron, “He’s lucky he’s never been a Chris Rock’s distance from Will Smith.”
The same story is out there but with the Golden Globes in the headline, and we expect that the Emmys will follow along with a similar piece about Garth Brooks and the Grammys for some reason.
