On June 10, 2018, at New York\u2019s Radio City Music Hall, De Niro said &#8216;F*** Trump&#8217; while receiving a standing ovation, as reported by The Guardian (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2018\/jun\/11\/robert-de-niro-wins-ovation-fuck-trump-speech-tony-awards\">Source<\/a>).

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) hasn&#8217;t made any statements about this. Typically, the Academy invites nominees, presenters, and certain guests to attend. De Niro wasn&#8217;t nominated for any awards in 2025, so there was no reason to exclude him. His most recent nomination was for Best Supporting Actor in 2024&#8217;s Killers of the Flower Moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rumor that Elon Musk was connected to a supposed ban probably arose because of De Niro&#8217;s previous criticism of Trump and Musk&#8217;s support for Trump. However, there&#8217;s no proof that Musk has any influence over Academy decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>De Niro\u2019s Past Political Comments<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>De Niro&#8217;s history of criticizing Trump, including his 2018 Tony Awards remark and other public statements (such as calling Trump &#8220;an idiot&#8221; and &#8220;a national disaster&#8221; during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/global\/video\/2016\/oct\/08\/robert-de-niro-id-like-to-punch-donald-trump-in-the-face-video\">2016 election campaign<\/a>), has fueled the spread of this misinformation. However, there is no evidence linking these sentiments to the 2025 Oscars.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The claim that Robert De Niro said &#8216;F*** Trump&#8217; at the 2025 Oscars is misleading; the video is from the 2018 Tony Awards. Similarly, no evidence supports claims that Elon Musk banned De Niro from attending or influenced his 2025 nomination status.
