Probably the best director of all time, and he hasn't even received an Oscar or any other type of recognition.

A shame.

Alfred Hitchcock and Stanely Kubrick never got one, and you know what? I don't think they need one now. They are legends with or without a gold trophy.

I don't know what it is about Scorsese that has him blackballed.

The Academy even had the audacity to have Scorsese present. (dunno what, my TV was half scrambled.

He should have won before now, but he shouldn't have won last night.

If he doesn't win an Oscar, he's only going to go down with, as Don Vercetti said, Hitchcock and Kubrick. I'd rather be ranked alongside those two than alongside Clint Eastwood, Peter Jackson et al.

It's weird how some people just never win. Or they win the "old man" award someday (as my mom calls it), lifetime achievement thing. Same thing goes for alot of great actors and actresses.

I was really pissed off last night about that. I'm not taking anything away from Clint, But come on, imo a movie with a awesome cast and a great movie about Aviation, Was a whole hell of alot harder to direct than a Boxing movie.

But ya know what, fuck the Academy. They can take that 13inch trophy and stick it right up there ass. Because everyone knows that Scorsese is one of the best Directors all time. He doesn't need a Oscar to Be one of the Best. He's movies speak for themselfs.

Well thats my rant for the night

DV- He presented the Humanitarian award to Roger Mayer.

The man himself knows he's not going to get one, ever,so I dont think he's too worried, and like Capo said, its better to be alongside Kubrick and Hitch (BTW one of the piano players last night had Hitch's profile ) than Peter Jackson. In any event, had he won last night, it woulod have been a "sorry we didnt give you this sooner" award

I want to cry for Mel Gibson for not being nominated. The movie made over 600,000,000 world wide. I thought the academy liked "artsie" type movies? I mean they voted to make "The English Patient" movie of the year

So True, So True.

One thing for sure, you will never hear Scorsese
cry or complain over it.

Who are these people who get to do the voting in the academy? I agree the Passion should have had alot more nominations. Marty reminds me of that soap star Susan Lucci who never got a emmy for years and years then out of the blue she finally got one.

I never saw the movie but wasnt The LAst Temptation Of Christ nominated for some awards???

Like i said in another thread,maybe he's just destined to never get one.At least his film won awards

100% true.

if I was Marty, I would just forget that. the oscar sucks, it's a farse. I agree with nearly everything you have said here, only not with the title. I'd never cry for not getting an Oscar, Scorsese is bigger than that.
