AskRobert De NiroandAl Pacinoabout campaigning for an Oscar, and they laugh loudly.
Its a little overexposed, De Niro, 76, says between chuckles.
To me this is all very new, Pacino, 79, says.

I havent been out and about [this] much for years.
The attention has allowed them to spend more time together than ever before off set, anyway.
We get to see each other, which we never do, Pacino says.

Granted, this is hardly the pairs first time around the awards block.
There was not as much of a focus [on Oscars], Pacino says.
And we werent as well-known then.
So what about now?
Did they feel prepared for this campaign?
Booming laughter, again, from both.
Pacino interjects: How do you prepare forthis?
Hes been beside Scorsese every step of the way on the circuit.
Im just so happy we actually did it, he says.
I was shooting1900with [Bernardo] Bertolucci in Italy, he recalls.
(Pause for humblebrag.)
So, I got the call at six in the morning.
(He was, fortunately, present to accept his 1981 Best Actor trophy for ScorsesesRaging Bull.)
Maybe well stay at the same old-age home, De Niro cracks.
Pacino roars: Id think of that fondly!
You know how you [hear of people] thinking of the next project?
Im out there thinking, Whats a good place I can go torest?'
