THE A-Z OF MARTIN SCORSESE O - OSCARS Until Scorsese finally won a Best Director Oscar for The Departed, ‘O’ could just have easily have represented ‘0’. That’s the grand total of golden doorstoppers bestowed on Scorsese prior to 2006, in a career that, don’t forget, had spanned nearly 40 years. Looking back with hindsight, there’s a case to be made for some of the judgments - Polanski and The Pianist over Gangs Of New York in 2002, for instance - but history has been less kindly to Academy voters in other cases. These things are subjective, of course, but anyone who thought Robert Redford’s direction of Ordinary People was more accomplished than Scorsese’s Raging Bull is quite simply a lunatic. There, we said it. And while we’re on it: Kevin Costner’s win for Dances With Wolves in preference to GoodFellas? A travesty. The Departed, though, finally gave the Scorsese mantlepiece something shiny to show for five decades of greatness. Can Hugo add to the tally? Don’t count against it. Empire Online

Did you know that “THE DEPARTED” is the movie with the most uses of the word “fuck” and its derivatives (237) to win the Best Picture Oscar?

Before winning Best Director for The Departed (2006), Martin Scorsese had been nominated 6 times without winning a single Oscar. He’s not alone: other great directors like Alfred Hitchcock (6 nominations), Robert Altman (5 nominations) and Stanley Kubric (4 nominations) never got competitive Oscars (though they won honorary ones).

Favorite Oscar Winners (1999-2009) Martin Scorsese, best director (the departed, 2006)I want to thank my wife Helen, and our little Francesca, who’s seven years old, who’s watching right now. Francesca, stay up for another ten minutes but then jump up and down and make a lot of noise at the hotel.

Marty accepting the Best Director Oscar for his film “The Departed,” at the 79th Academy Awards, ‘07. “Could you double-check the envelope?” said Scorsese, who had been the greatest living American filmmaker without an Oscar despite crafting such  masterpieces as “Raging Bull” and “Goodfellas.” Scorsese received his Oscar from three contemporaries and friends, Steven Spielberg, Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas. “So many people over the years have been wishing this for me,” he said.
