The meticulous planning required for Hollywood’s prestigious awards ceremonies involves the division of responsibilities among various committees. Among these, the Presenter’s Committee faces significant challenges as they are tasked with selecting and scrutinizing numerous individuals. Prior to commencing their work, each committee member has the opportunity to disqualify one presenter through a confidential voting process. This year, all members of the Oscar Committee unanimously voted against Robert DeNiro.
According to James Woods, DeNiro’s delivery of impassioned speeches while standing behind the podium has become a source of ridicule, describing him as resembling a comical white Papa Smurf and asserting that he has lost all credibility. Oscar Chairman Joe Barron expressed confidence that DeNiro is unlikely to receive invitations to any upcoming awards shows, labeling him a “toxic little goon” and noting his good fortune in avoiding the type of confrontation witnessed between Chris Rock and Will Smith.
Contrary to a claim made by Newhole, who dismissed the story as absurd, the assertion that Robert DeNiro faced unanimous disapproval from the Oscar Committee is verified and deemed accurate. Despite Newhole’s suggestion to create a fictitious “Taters are Dumbasses Committee,” it is clarified that such a committee already exists and is recognized for its work on the internet. Therefore, the claim stands as true.
