Hollywood millionaires line up behind Hillary: Robert De Niro, James Corden and Leonardo DiCaprio stump for Clinton at film awards 

  • Robert De Niro warned a Trump victory tomorrow would be 'a tragedy' 
  • He cautioned Americans against supporting the reality television star
  • Leonardo Di Caprio said people should support climate change believers
  • Hillary Clinton has received the support of many Hollywood stars  

Several Hollywood screen legends took to the stage last night during an annual awards ceremony to urge Americans to vote for Hillary Clinton tomorrow.

Raging Bull actor Robert De Niro began the attacks on Donald Trump by comparing him to the 'totally insane' General Jack D Ripper from Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove. 

He warned electing the real estate reality TV star would be a 'tragedy'.

Robert De Niro, pictured last night, described this week's election as 'frightening' and warned against supporting Donald Trump as this would cause a comedy situation to turn into a tragedy

Leonardo Di Caprio said he was shocked that environment wasn't debated during the election and urged the electorate to support the people 'who believe in the science of climate change'

James Cordon, who hosted last night's event, warned the votes for the awards were rigged 

He said on stage: 'It's two days until a frightening election. The shadow of politics is hanging over us whether we like it or not.

'It's hard for me to think about anything else so let me lay it out right here. We have the opportunity to prevent a comedy from turning into a tragedy. Vote for Hillary Tuesday.'

The veteran actor, 73, has previously voiced opposition to Trump, saying he wanted to punch the Republican candidate in the face in a video campaign last month.

De Niro picked up the Hollywood Comedy Award for his portrayal of an ageing comic in the film The Comedian.

A host of A-list names were recognised at the ceremony in Beverly Hills - billed as one of the first award shows of the season - including Tom Hanks, Mel Gibson, Nicole Kidman and Leonardo DiCaprio.

DiCaprio said it was 'completely unacceptable' that climate change was not discussed in the election debates as he accepted the Hollywood Documentary Award for his environmental film Before The Flood.

'Let's all use our power as citizens and do the right thing' he said. 'Please vote... vote for people who believe in the science of climate change.'

Host James Corden told the audience: 'Tonight is actually rigged. Literally, none of this is real.'

Over the weekend, a host of stars appeared on stage with Clinton, including Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z, who performed in a free concert in Cleveland, Ohio, a state which is seen as a possible dead heat.

Also, basketball player LeBron James added his support to the Clinton campaign claiming she would be better for African-American children.

Singer Ted Nugent appeared at a Trump rally in Detroit on Friday night.

The singer grabbed his crotch and said: 'I've got your blue state right here. By the way, my language is much, much cleaner, as you know, than Jay Z.' 

Trump has criticized crude language in a Friday night concert that rapper Jay Z and his wife, Beyonce, held for Clinton in Cleveland. 

The GOP candidate has also received the endorsement of actors such as former Happy Days star Scott Baoi, Chuck Norris and former porn star Jemma Jameson.
