With numerous exceptions, Filmography of Robert De Niro was generally divided between early and late comedy drama. In accepting the Cecil b. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement, De Niro leaned heavily on it.

Sunday at the Golden Globes, De Niro — never one for complacency — refused to play until its iconography and instead was happy to parody it.

Instead of tout accomplishments as her performance in "Taxi Driver" or "the Godfather, part II" or "goodfellas," De Niro joked that some of its less acclaimed films — "Frankenstein" or "jacknife" or "Stone" — were missing from introductory reel.

"All are like my children," he said of his films, using the old cliche. After a beat, he added that the exception was that his children cannot be redone in 3D to increase grosses.

De Niro also guessed that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association could not have chosen him for the prize they had had the opportunity to display his widely panned "Little Fockers." Those films, "Meet the parents" — with the 1999 "analyze" — which showed comedy chops De Niro, who often leaned on satirizing the presence of serious, intimidating.

But, of course, even if the HFPA before he had seen "Little fockers", De Niro was an easy choice, no doubt for the honor, which previously went Al Pacino, Michael Douglas, Steven Spielberg and Barbra Streisand.

After all, these awards have become a bit old hat for De Niro.

Just last year, was on the podium presentation of Martin Scorsese himself with the Cecil b. DeMille Award. Joked that after 20 years of making movies together, the two had spent the last decade, presenting each other with prizes.

As Scorsese, the 67-year-old De Niro is still fully involved in the creation of movies. In 2010, the same year that celebrated the 20th anniversary of "goodfellas," De Niro starred in "Little Fockers," "Stone" and "Machete" by Robert Rodriguez. Among his many projects waiting for release is an action movie, "The Killer Elite," a thriller, "The Dark Fields", and a biography of the great football coach Vince Lombardi.

"I'm going to be around for a long time," De Niro said hopefully Sunday.

De Niro has become increasingly prominent on behind the scenes, too. In addition to directing occasionally and often produce, the business media company, Tribeca which she co-founded, Tribeca Film Festival. Far-sighted initiative of distribution, Tribeca Film Company, given that last year sought independent films to viewers of video-on-demand and other platforms.

Tribeca Film Festival — founded 10 years ago to revitalize New York District of De Niro after 11 September 2001, the World Trade Center attacks — will not be his only festival this year, either. He set to head the jury at Cannes in May.

This is a remarkable arch for De Niro, who started playing outsider gentleman, violent in the film classic and still has established himself as an insider savvy and entrepreneur, with ventures, including fine restaurants and luxurious hotels Greenwich.

NATO in New York, De Niro studied at the Conservatory of Stella Adler and Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio, a school that trained him in the method acting. His film career began in assets, and quickly fell in with Scorsese, starting with "1973 Mean Streets."

It was the beginning of one of the most popular combo Director-actor in the history of the film, which leads to the film, including "Raging Bull," "goodfellas," "Cape Fear", "the King of comedy" and "New York, New York."

After "Mean streets", "Francis Ford Coppola, the Godfather, part II," followed soon, for which De Niro won the first of his two Academy Awards. Once again, won for his performance as Boxer Jake LaMotta in "Raging Bull," which is also his lone Golden Globe Awards eight nominations.

Influence of de Niro on many actors present Sunday night was widespread. Previously broadcast, claiming the actor Christian Bale, winner cried his admiration of De Niro and the band played to him off the stage.

Presenter Matt Damon, who co-starred in "the good Shepherd of De Niro" (one of two films that de Niro has directed) don't even try to praise him with esteem or fawning praise instead of settling for arcinemici the idea of someone unfamiliar with him.

Damon confused of De Niro roles and credits before you give in with the introduction of simple, matter of fact "a career bigger than an actor has ever had."

De Niro, however, had the last laugh.

After quickly silenced the standing ovation as an overreaction extravagant, has turned to Damon and said, "and I loved you in" The Fighter. ""
