A surprising situation occurred during this year’s Gotham Awards ceremony. The creators of “The Time of the Bloody Moon” received a special distinction, which they were to receive during the gala. The actor went on stage, but when he saw the text displayed on the prompter, he realized that some of his thoughts had been deleted. De Niro wasn’t going to keep silent about this fact: I realized they cut something out… I was supposed to thank Apple, the Gotham Awards, blah, blah, blah. But after what happened, I won’t do it anymore. Actually, how dare they?” – said the 80-year-old actor.
Robert De Niro did not spare criticism of Donald Trump
Robert De Niro’s speech was about his collaboration with Scorses. The actor also showed viewers a short film about the director. At the end, he told the audience what was in the cut fragment. “The beginning of my speech has been deleted… and I would like to read it. History is no longer history. Truth is not truth. Lies have become another tool in the charlatan’s arsenal,” he began. As it later turned out, the deleted fragment was supposed to be dedicated to Donald Tramp, whom De Niro, to put it mildly, is not a fan of. “He attacks the weaker, destroys nature, shows disrespect, for example using ‘Pocahontas’ as a nickname,” the actor thundered from the stage.
According to Variety, the speech was corrected by Apple, the producer of “The Blood Moon”. Some sources say that the reason was a communication error (Robert De Niro’s speech was supposed to have different versions), while others say that Apple sent an e-mail to the gala organizers containing a shortened version of the speech.
