De Niro, 67, won his first Academy Award as best supporting actor in the 1974 film, The Godfather, Part II. He then took home a best-actor Oscar — and Golden Globe — for 1980's Raging Bull.
An eight-time Golden Globe nominee, De Niro went on to found the Tribeca Film Center in 1988 and helped created the Tribeca Film Festival in 2002, which celebrates New York and contributes to the post-9/11 recovery of lower Manhattan.
