Robert De Niro labeled the current political climate 'dire' in his SAGAwards speech
Continuing his introduction, DiCaprio spoke of being influenced by De Niro because of his "fearless pursuit of authenticity." Calling him "elemental," DiCaprio added, "It feels as if he's always been here and always will be here."in the theater. "As the lights went down, he turned to me and said, 'If you really want to be an actor and get into this profession, if you want to understand what great acting is, you watch that man on screen.
De Niro went on to thank SAG-AFTRA, especially in the current era where there is "hostility" toward unions. He then listed a series of issues that political leaders who support unions are more likely to get behind, such as "the Affordable Care Act, equitable taxes, humane immigration regulation, a safe environment, a diverse citizenry, reproductive rights, sensible gun control, and fair wages and benefits.
De Niro labeled the current political climate "dire," adding, "There's right and there's wrong, there's common sense and there's abuse of power. And as a citizen, I have as much right as anybody ― an actor, an athlete, a musician, anybody else ― to voice my opinion." He emphasized, "If I have a bigger voice because of my situation, I am going to use it whenever I see a blatant abuse of power.
