It was a big night for Hollywood’s mobsters on Sunday. Robert De Niro was honored with the Cecile B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement, and deservedly so. Al Pacino walked away with a statue for his turn as Dr. Jack Kevorkian in Barry Levinson’s TV movie You Don’t Know Jack. Then HBO’s Martin Scorsese-produced prohibition era gangland series Boardwalk Empire unseated Mad Men—a decision I disagree with—from its three-year throne as television’s best drama series.
