<p>Legendary star Robert De Niro Was honoured with the lifetime achievement award at Sunday's Screen Actor's Guild Award.&nbsp;<br />
The award was a tribute to his 50-year old career in films ranging from dramas like "The Deer Hunter," "Raging Bull" and "The Godfather: Part II" to comedies such as "Meet the Parents" and "Silver Linings Playbook."<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/sag-awards-2020-parasite-wins-top-honours-heres-the-list-of-key-winners-275358">See the complete list of winners here</a><br />
<br />
As he went up on stage to receive the award, the veteran actor took a dig at US President Donald Trump without mentioning him by name. &nbsp;De Niro's dig was in reference to Trump facing Senate trial this week on impeachment charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.<br />
<br />
"There’s right, and there’s wrong and there's common sense, and there’s abuse of power, and as a citizen, I have as much right as anyone else ... to voice my opinion," the actor said. "And if I have a bigger voice because of my situation, I’m going to use it whenever I see a blatant abuse of power. And that’s all I’m going say about that tonight," the actor said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He then went on to thank his "comrades in arms" for bestowing the lifetime achievement honour, presented by the SAG-AFTRA (American Federation of Television and Radio Actors) union.</p>

<p>A versatile actor with more than 100 films to his credit, De Niro, 76, also is co-founder of the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City, established to help revitalize lower Manhattan after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that reduced the World Trade Center to ruins.</p>

<p>Although known for his often-taciturn demeanour in public appearances while strictly guarding his private life, De Niro has emerged as one of Trump's most vocal critics outside of political circles.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This isn't the first time that the actor has critiqued Trump on a public platform. In 2018, he launched an expletive-laden attack on Trump on live television as a presenter on the stage of the Tony Awards for Broadway theatre. Trump responded on Twitter by calling De Niro "a very low-key individual."</p>

<p>A frequent collaborator with director Martin Scorsese, De Niro built his career with haunting portrayals of loners and tough guys - a deranged ex-convict in "Cape Fear," a disturbed vigilante in "Taxi Driver," a disillusioned Vietnam War veteran in "Deer Hunter," a ruthless gangster in "Goodfellas."</p>

<p>A method actor and perfectionist who trained at the Stella Adler Conservatory and the American Workshop and with Lee Strasberg, De Niro earned a reputation for intense preparation.</p>

<p>He learned to speak a Sicilian dialect to play the young mobster Vito Corleone in "The Godfather: Part II," a role that earned him his first Oscar in 1975. And he famously gained 60 pounds (27 kilos) for his second Oscar-winning performance as boxing great Jake LaMotta in 1980's "Raging Bull."&nbsp;</p>

<p>He also found success playing his hard-bitten screen image for laughs, in such comedic roles as an insecure mob boss in "Analyze This" and a retired CIA operative in "Meet the Fockers."</p>

<p>Nevertheless, De Niro has been largely overlooked this awards season for his acting work as hitman Frank Sheeran in "The Irishman," failing to garner nominations as a performer in the Golden Globes, Oscars, or SAG contests. He did, however, share an Academy Award nomination in this year's best picture race as one of four named producers of "The Irishman."&nbsp;</p>

<p>De Niro joins previous SAG lifetime recipients including Alan Alda, Elizabeth Taylor, Morgan Freeman, Clint Eastwood and Debbie Reynolds.</p>

SAG Awards 2020: Robert De Niro wins lifetime award; takes a shot at Donald Trump

<p>South Korean thriller "Parasite" was the upset winner at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) awards on Sunday, while Joaquin Phoenix and Renee Zellweger were named best actors, cementing their roles as frontrunners at the Oscars next month.</p>

<p>'Parasite,'&nbsp;the Korean language social satire about the wealth gap in South Korea, was the first film in a foreign language to win the top prize of best cast ensemble in the 26 year history of the SAG awards.</p>

<p>Despite an unknown cast, it beat homegrown Hollywood movies "The Irishman" and "Once Upon A Time in Hollywood" which both have A-list stars. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/sag-awards-2020-parasite-wins-top-honours-heres-the-list-of-key-winners-275358">See full list of winners here</a></p>

<p>The SAG awards, which focus entirely on performances, are closely watched as an indicator of Oscar success because actors form the largest voting group in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.</p>

<p>"Parasite" director Bong Joon Ho said backstage that no-one could predict what might happen at the Oscars on Feb. 9</p>

<p>Speaking through an interpreter he added; "It is true that the momentum is building and we are a part of the awards race and campaign. But what happened today, what’s truly important, is that these actors were acknowledged by fellow peers as the best ensemble cast of this year."<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/sag-awards-2020-robert-de-niro-wins-lifetime-award-takes-a-shot-at-donald-trump-275351">Robert De Niro wins lifetime award; takes a shot at Donald Trump</a></p>

South Korean thriller "Parasite" was the upset winner at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) awards on Sunday, while Joaquin Phoenix and Renee Zellweger were named best actors, cementing their roles as frontrunners at the Oscars next month.

South Korean thriller "Parasite" was the upset winner at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) awards on Sunday, while Joaquin Phoenix and Renee Zellweger were named best actors, cementing their roles as frontrunners at the Oscars next month. 'Parasite,' the Korean language social satire about the wealth gap in South Korea, was the first film in a foreign language to win the top prize of best cast ensemble in the 26 year history of the SAG awards. Despite an unknown cast, it beat homegrown Hollywood movies "The Irishman" and "Once Upon A Time in Hollywood" which both have A-list stars. See full list of winners here The SAG awards, which focus entirely on performances, are closely watched as an indicator of Oscar success because actors form the largest voting group in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. "Parasite" director Bong Joon Ho said backstage that no-one could predict what might happen at the Oscars on Feb. 9 Speaking through an interpreter he added; "It is true that the momentum is building and we are a part of the awards race and campaign. But what happened today, what’s truly important, is that these actors were acknowledged by fellow peers as the best ensemble cast of this year."Robert De Niro wins lifetime award; takes a shot at Donald Trump Phoenix's terrifying performance as a loner who finds fame through violence in "Joker" has swept awards season.
