Robert De Niro is one of the greatest actors of all time. The New Yorker is hailed as one of the finest performers in the history of Hollywood, and this year, he’s once again nominated for an Oscar, thanks to his role in Martin Scorsese’s ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’, alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, another staple of the filmmaker’s ensemble.
And what about De Niro? He’s one of the most versatile figures, an actor who captivates the camera, whose filmography, despite a dip in recent years, remains one of the most comprehensive in history.
De Niro’s Oscar nominations and awards
Over more than six decades on screen, De Niro has amassed a total of nine Oscar nominations, winning two of them:
The Godfather Part II (Best Supporting Actor) Won
Taxi Driver (Best Actor)
The Deer Hunter (Best Actor)
Raging Bull (Best Actor) Won
Awakenings (Best Actor)
Cape Fear (Best Actor)
Silver Linings Playbook (Best Supporting Actor)
The Irishman (Best Actor)
Killers of the Flower Moon (Best Supporting Actor)
De Niro has been a constant presence in Hollywood’s star system from the 1970s to the present, often in collaboration with Martin Scorsese, his go-to director, who has been responsible for five of his nine Oscar nominations.
The Oscars record he could break in 2024
Furthermore, in 2024, Robert De Niro has set a new record for the longest time span between an actor’s first and last Oscar nomination, surpassing Katherine Hepburn’s gap of 48 years.
Should he win the Oscar, he would also break Hepburn’s record for the longest span of years between Oscar wins for an actor. She won her first award in 1933 and her last in 1981. He won his first in 1975 and could potentially add another in 2024.
