Host James Corden set the tone at the ceremony on Sunday night with a joke about hoping for another Clinton installment, according to [_The Hollywood Reporter._](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/robert-de-niro-at-hollywood-film-awards-vote-hillary-944643)“This year they brought back _Star Wars_ with a female lead. They rebooted _Ghostbusters_ with a female cast,” he said. “And I pray to God they reboot the Clinton presidency with a female lead.” Robert De Niro was more serious in his plea to the audience. “Let me just lay it out right here: We have the opportunity to prevent a comedy from turning into a tragedy. Vote for Hillary Tuesday,” De Niro said. Leonardo DiCaprio, who won a Documentary Award for his and director Fisher Stevens’ work on the climate change film _Before the Flood_, alluded to Donald Trump’s [comments calling climate change a Chinese hoax](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/265895292191248385?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw), [_Variety_](http://variety.com/2016/film/news/hollywood-film-awards-robert-de-niro-natalie-portman-support-hillary-clinton-1201911295/)reports. “Please vote this Tuesday,” [he said](http://variety.com/2016/film/news/hollywood-film-awards-robert-de-niro-natalie-portman-support-hillary-clinton-1201911295/). “Vote for people who believe in the science of climate change.” \[[_The Hollywood Reporter_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/robert-de-niro-at-hollywood-film-awards-vote-hillary-944643)\] ## Transcript If 2016 was going to be a battle of the sexes, everyone thought Hillary Clinton would be the main combatant. But this year, Trump, not Clinton, has made this cycle the most gendered election in political history. These are just the greatest hits. After Megyn Kelly asked him this question at a primary debate, You call women you don't like fat pigs, dogs, slobs, And disgusting animals. You know you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever. He's called Hillary Clinton disgusting for taking a bathroom break. Sorry. [ LAUGH ] Donald Trump said the following about you. Quote look at that face. Would anyone vote for that? He slammed GOP primary opponent Carly Fiorina for her appearance. And he's accused Clinton of playing the woman card. She's constantly playing the woman card. It's the only way she may get elected. On the other hand Clinton is emphasizing the historic nature of her gender more than she did in 2008. She gave her first speech as a presumptive nominee to Planned Parenthood, where she said the word abortion, Legal abortions. 16 times. By contrast, Barack Obama almost never says that word. Women should be allowed to make their own decisions about their own health. She frequently refers to herself as a grandmother and in her first appearance at the DNC, she had this message for the next generation of female leaders. If there are any little girls out there who stayed up late to watch Let me just say. I may become the first woman president but one of you is next. Still, Hillary Clinton is a presidential candidate who just happens to be a woman. Donald Trump is a man for whom the presidency is the ultimate validation of his masculinity. [ UNKNOWN ] And he referred to my hands. If they're small, something else must be small. I guarantee you there's no problem. I guarantee you. And his followers have taken their cues from the top. [ BLEEP ] Hillary. I still can't hear with this [ BLEEP ] in my ear. Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. For other Trump supporters, this election is about jobs, trade, and the economy. I will be the greatest jobs president that god ever created. But those issues are linked to a massive social shift away from an economy Economy based on male breadwinners. I'll bring back our jobs from China, from Mexico- When Trump talks about jobs, he's talking about a specific kind of job. The manufacturing and industrial jobs that once allowed men to support family on a single income. In other words, the jobs that made men feel like men. As those industries have declined in Last three decades, others have grown. And the fastest growing industries education and health care are dominated by women. So the November election has turned into a referendum on gender, but it was Trump who justified on the battlefield. Which means that this November, American voters will be sending a message about how men are allowed to behave and what women are allowed to achieve.
