Martin Scorsese Wins Best Directing | 79th Oscars (2007) 

Only missing Brian De Palma. The 70s were really those directors breakout year, it was their moment in the industry

The former three went to film school together with Walter Murch

It's said that Copolla and Scorsese went to see a play of Al Pacino after Copolla decided Al was the best for Micheal Corleone's role also for Scorsese to see him...

With the "film school" generation up there presenting, it was kind of easy to infer that this might finally be Martin's night.

If only de palma were here This would be perfect All the movie brats together

+Boy In The Box it is, all absolute legends they are just missing James Cameron lol

+Josh Wood And Stanley Kubrik..... cuz he's dead....;--;

If Kubrick was alive and if Ridley Scott was nominated.

they ARE in fact. Each one of them is special in their own way.

now they are.

King of comedy is also criminally underrated

@@sarahw4129 I agree with you on that 👍

For movies like taxi driver raging bull and goodfellas oscar is too small an honor dude..

He won cannes for taxi driver fuck oscars

Silence too!

And Wolf of Wall Street

​@@KirubelAklilu13? It was only seven years after.

That'd be awesome

***** Or, "As far back as I can remember, the Academy has been robbing me of an Oscar. I am here today coz they finally ran out of excuses". But I understand how that may sound haughty ;)

dudududududdu Ive gone from raags to richeeess

+Mees I'll say it one day.

Jerel Damon Goodluck, make sure to thank me!

Ah yes! Al Pacino got one of those for Scent of a Woman

And Leonardo DiCaprio will win one as well.... One day...

Spartan Gamer He will get it eventually, I just want him to get it before he gets old.

+ibrahim y RIGHT? The Revenant looks so good but their going to give it to Eddie Redmayne for The Danish girl this year

+BladeBlurX Example: Susan Lucci - All My Children: 19 nominations, 1 emmy.

I'm dissapointed that he wasn't a producer in The Departed, he could've won two awards if he's the producer of that masterpiece

Absolutely, he deserves SO MANY MORE of these.

Marty Scorsese Deserveed it

At least 3 without a doubt best director in last 40 years

Definitely Robbed for Goodfellas and Taxi Driver

I miss him deeply !

So true🤣🤣

@@moisemensah8233 Miss him? The man is not dead

@@dominiquemorris7800 true but he hasn't appeared onscreen since 2010. That's what I implied. ✌🏾

​@@moisemensah8233 Atleast you can catch him at a Lakers game

The exact same thing I thought the exact moment they came onstage

Was way to young to be into film when he won, but as soon as the video started and I saw them presenting it was obvious that even then everyone knew Scorsese was gonna win. Should’ve had De Palma up there too

Brian Lange I think the same and judging by his face, Iñituitu knew it

Brian Lange to be fair the Academy had been “a little insulting” to Scorsese for the past 30 years before this video is from (he should’ve won his first Oscar in 1977 instead of 2007)

@@brianlangefilm Insulting? Scorsese is top 3 best directors of all time. Who gives a shit Iñárritu has four goddamn oscars now. He didnt have to wait long

Seriously. ..that's really sad..that list is really good!

+murmelh Wolf of Wall Street. LMAO. Give me a break.

Do you honestly think any of these people give a shit about the Oscars. I mean really, Scorcese has some of the most quoted movies of all time but people seem to think he is loosing sleep over not winning an Oscar.

SwagFondue I doubt he is loosing sleep over it but I do believe that when a superior film comes along it should be recognized and honored for it, films like goodfellas, Taxi Driver, and Casino in some respects changed the game in how we see film and it should be honored for it. Now granted his movies are just some in a long list of films that include 2001 a space oddesy, Saving Private Ryan, and Toy Story that were snubbed and I believe that many of his films along with countless others should be awarded for changing how we look at movies before him it was largely the goody gets the girl the bad guy is punished, they walk off into the sunset, his movies along with several other brilliant film makers changed film making at a time when it needed to be changed.

+dannytheman1313 The Wolf Of Wall Street as well and he should at least got nominated for Shutter Island.

Not to mention Clint Eastwood being nominated at the same time like damn

when u realise he did credit the asian film , and people are talking that it is not credited

Houn Steve Boong to Martin

This isn't his most personal work (not even close) if that's your reach.

@@-Aidro- piss off m8

"That quote was from our great Martin Scorsese." by Bong Joon-ho at 2020 Oscar.

Exactly!

And Goodfellas

He wasn't even nominated

He was nominated. He just didn't win.

He wasn't nominated for Taxi Driver. Look it up.

And the end, thank Siskel and Ebert for their long support and praise.

Dude, I'm pretty sure the entire world had the same reaction. Everyone including myself was like "FINALLY, WHAT TOOK THE ACADEMY SO LONG DAMMIT!!!???" 😂😂😂

Steven could probably sympathize as he suffered a drought himself until Schindler's List finally won it for him.

The whole room at the time seem to be like that given the response

2006 Spielberg gave the award to Scorsese, and in 2024 he gave it to Nolan,

Marty Scorsese deserves it

oscars matter for these great directors

Oscars matter for people that work in the movie biz and for people that like movies. So they matter. Not on the level your thinking of though.

yeah, when Emma Stone won best picture

Oh yeah he did

😁🤣🤙

Can't believe that happened 😂

👌😂

Whalberg DiCaprio Etc.... :D

camilo villate yeah... not so much.

Lucas Resende I'm not the biggest fan of DiCaprio, but his performances in Gilbert Grape or TWOWS are better than anything Nicholson's ever done, so I don't get why you're on your high horse when it comes to "talent".

superhazardz I'm not on any horse, mate. there's a name for that, it's called an opnion. as it is the fact I find laughable your statement about DiCaprio and Nicholson. but yeah, Jordan Belfort, what a complex and dense character Leonardo had to portrait there. what a huge challenge for any actor. I wonder how Leo didn't lose his mind between the emotion range he had to demonstrate on this particular role. it was not like the whole movie was about money, drugs and nailing hookers. and it is GiLbert Grape, as such a fan you should be able to spell it.

Lucas Resende I spelt Gilbert Grape correctly, so I don't understand the correction that you're trying to make. Anyway, to dismiss Leo's performance in Wolf just because of the subject matter shows some snobby elitism from you. He had to show a wide range, from drama to comedy (even physical comedy). That's like saying Joe Pesci was terrible in Goodfellas because of the subject matter, or Samuel L. Jackson was bad in Pulp Fiction because it's a film about people saying the n-word and saying fuck the whole film. BTW, I wasn't even talking about the films themselves, I was talking about Leo's performance in them films being better than any of Nicholson's.

He was the frontrunner that year and the Academy thinks it's about goddamn time. You can tell by mentioning the nominees, Scorsese had the loudest cheers and clap from the audience.

Scorsese deserved it the most for Raging Bull which was his true masterpiece.

Or Taxi Driver or Raging Bull or Aviator or Wolf of Wall Street

Or the aviator, or taxi driver, or the last temptation, or gangs of new york, or raging bull or hugo and wolf of wall street too!

The fact that he didn't win an Oscar for Goodfellas seriously upsets me! I mean, Dances with Wolves was a good movie, but it stole all the Oscars Goodfellas should have won....

Hey man that's why these awards suck balls, if they screw someone over one year, they have to screw someone over in another year

Probably since gangs of New York haha

@@oscarjsotom Since Raining Bull Menn!!!

Long enough to predict the future

Lol

Don't count George lucas lol

@@jothishprabu8He directed Star Wars which is one of the greatest films of all time

@@jothishprabu8 Personally, I am a Treckie and therefore not a fan of Lucas at all. However, what he did with Star Wars is incredible.

@@dylanseah7161 And that's the only film he is known for. Not in same the league with the others.

@@radentstwo9793 American Graffiti? It’s also one of the greatest films of all time and a classic. It’s also in the National Film Registry. Plus he did something the others also didn’t. He created a universe from a film that spanned possibly the greatest sequel of all time.

That was just amazing, best moment.

Imagine losing and still receiving a stand up ovation. Instant respect

@@heisen-bones Scorsese really deserved it tho. He the Legend of Legends

Morricone is the mastroianni of the composers

@@coldmovies7730 Yes, he is. He is a legendary composer, who inspired legendary composers.

@Naman Bajaj She didn't win yet , but I wish. She is a great actress.

@Franz Styles Peter O' Toole was a great actor. But, what I mean by Leonardo DiCaprio, the people who waited for a long time and won after several nominations. Peter O'Toole was a great actor, but unfortunately he didn't win. I really wished if he won for Lawrence of Arabia.

Mazen Hamdy Di Caprio is overrated! What about Henry Fonda, Paul Newman, Al Pacino...

uncensorer Hugo; nomination The Wolf of Wall Street; nomination The Irishman; 2017 Oscar. nomination too ;p

Ralison Henrique Silence - Oscar Winner :P

The Irishman and Silence look like they could do that.

+Ralison Henrique what about silence?

Michael Colby I did not know that

What are you favourite

They are all friends and have been for 50 yeare

Don't forget Inarritu and Eastwood were the nominees...

The most underrated comment.

The Departed itself is one ambitious crossover

@@RSG_TheMonster absolutely.

Hans Zimmer and Christopher Nolan

@@RSG_TheMonster thé Irishman is one to

Also PTA and sadly Kubrick but it won't happen for the latter

Tarantino got best original screenplay two times at least

Crowbar yeah he means winning one for directing not screeplay

Nolan's got in the bag this year for Dunkirk. Edit: Lol that didn't work out, admittedly I think Guillermo del Toro did deserve it

Cobalt Falcon quentin won for Pulp Fiction and Django for screenplay. ^^

No shit. There are still people out there saying that Scorsese is "OVERRATED" but I totally disagree.

+BURCHDOG scorsese signed the Polanski petition

+BURCHDOG No. He should've won for Taxi Driver too. So, that's 31 years overdue.

kushan shah best director that year was ROCKY

BRAD PITT No way. I haven't seen Rocky but I refuse to accept that any guy was more deserving of that golden statuette than Scorsese. I'd pick him over almost anyone for best director that year.

Just finished watching it for the first time. MY GOSH.

the original is better

Non

No it is not

It's a good movie but definitely one of Scorsese's worst

Yh It's great how Bong Jung Hoo talks about Martin and Quinton as his influences and great to see a Guy saying I wasn't expecting to win other awards other then International Awards

You forgot Goodfellas.

oh sorry, 9 oscars then

Priyankan Datta After Hours

After Hours is a godmdman masterpiece.

Shutter Island wasn’t that great. King of Comefy was fine but far from 82’s best movie. Similar thing for Gangs of NY imo. Similar with After Hours. The definite wins should’ve been Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Casino, Departed. Then the maybe wins should’ve been Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Wolf of Wall Street, Irishman and maybe more

Absolutely. Most directors have a big ego but Marty is a stand up guy. It’s rare to see the biggest actors in Hollywood wanting to work with the same director

I like Joaquin Phoenix speech as he is humble and doesnt have a big ego aswell and dedicates it to his brother River Phoenix

@@kishenkoolskills90 Too political.

But The Departed is excellent

Yes, absolutely. We live in a world where movies like Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, The King of Comedy, Casino, Wolf of the Wall Street, After Hours and The Last Temptation of Christ have no Best Picture/Best Director wins.

@@princesmith8008 Goodfellas and Casino are two of the greatest films ever made. And I just saw Killers of the Flower Moon at it's Oklahoma premiere, and it's a masterpiece.

@@SymphonyBrahms Completely agree with you, Goodfellas and Casino are such addicting movies that you could just watch countless times. And far as Flower Moon is concerned, it is my most anticipated movie of 2023. Everyone is calling it a masterpiece, and I'm really not surprised. I expect nothing less from Scorsese. Gonna watch it tomorrow, very excited.

And what contributions would that be? He made a good blockbuster and good coming of age comedy. There are far far more deserving directors at the moment such as David Lynch, Michael Haneke, Terrence Malick, Werner Herzagov etc.

I'm not a Lucas fanboy but as a collective, Star Wars has been very influential and in some ways changed cinema. Not saying the directors you've mentioned don't deserve one either.

Nameless Paladin Lucas changed cinema forever with Star Wars and has made an impact on the world of film that few, if any, other filmmakers in history have ever done.

TheGuyThatsAwesome He's a brilliant technician. But as a writer and director? Not so much.

Nameless Paladin His screenwriting skills aren't great, that's obvious, but he is not a terrible director when he isn't surrounded by people that refuse to tell him "no". His true talents, however, lie in his technical skills (as you mentioned), his film business skills, and, for the most part, his producing skills. He's still a legendary filmmaker, much more so than the others you mentioned (Lynch is solid, but I think Malick is the single most overrated and pretentious filmmaker in history).

NEW YORK SPORTS FAN which got him losing to Alfonso Cuarón for Gravity (2013).

After 6 years here it comes...the irishman

And Scorsese’s next movie after The Irishman will probably have Leo and De Niro

And goodfellas!

too bad u failed to name his best movie goodfellas.

Why does everyone think Goodfellas was his best movie lol Raging Bull is much more complex and iconic, in my opinion. It also has far better imagery and character development.

@@matheusmelo6022 Everybody has opinion. I personally think Taxi Driver is his best movie.

h4rder10 I think Taxi Driver is better

No. It was Nolan's year.

He absolutely deserved it, Nolan too but it's still a theft since it should have been a tie between them

no this one was for goodfellas

+‫عبد البديع فلاتة‬‎ Departed

Edgar Allan Poe nope he was supposed to get that either on raging bull or good fellas

Edgar Allan Poe for Wolf of Wall Street , The Aviator, Raging Bull, Gangs of New York

Edgar Allan Poe Casino and Goodfellas

Exactly, well, maybe not for "Boxcar Bertha" but for all the rest of cours.

Kundun! I liked it...

New York New York? Not quite.

Yeah definitely for many of his movies

Newyork newyork was boring as hell

Yeah, I like him too

Really George Lucas great director

"Exhilarating"...The same word that LEONARDO DiCAPRIO used in "THE AVIATOR".... Directed by Martin Scorsese 😁

@@dr.strangelove431 I'm sorry, are you somehow questioning that Lucas is a great director? Because he's literally one of the best in history.

Most powerful directors? Nope.

@@MrZackavelli no

Well, he did win before... But yeah, he deserved a second Oscar... even though the Oscars suck. Gary Oldman still hasn't won an Oscar.

Actually this was Martin's 1st Oscar ever which is sad, he never won before. I consider him the best director of all time, he is all talent in 1. What sucks more Gary only got nominated once I believe for Tinker Tailor Solider Spy (great movie). The Academy has been bad recently.

AceHalford Holy shit, you're right! I read somewhere that he won an Academy Award for Raging Bull (and I was already disgruntled because I thought he deserved one for GoodFellas), but I checked and.. damn. The Academy sucks so hard.

Its already bad enough he did not win for Taxi Driver, love that movie so damn much! Academy has been making a lot of bad decisions lately.

AceHalford Not just recently, man... They chose Humphrey Bogart in African Queen over Marlon Brando in A Streetcar named Desire. The Academy can be very conservative with its decisions.

Martin Scorsese is my favorite director and I agree with all your picks except for Gangs and Shutter Island, Roman Polanski was well deserved in 2002 for The Pianist and Christopher Nolan or David Fincher were better picks for 2010.

Sebastian Mendo I agree about Fincher and Nolan actually, but his directing job in Gangs of New York was amazing and should have won.

You know, the real reason why those movies didn't win is because they're too realistic and edgy. Yes, I know, movie buffs like us love them but did the general public??

Jon Jaxxson hmmm...a good point! Ah fuck the academy, as long as we know who the true winners are.

Goodfellas and The Aviator- YES! Taxi Driver and Raging Bull are debatable, excellent films but it was tough competition those years. Gangs of New York, Shutter Island, Hugo and The Wolf of Wall Street- No

Jeremy Stubbs la la land and moonlight😂😂

@@iam5149 I'm glad that Moonlight won. La La Land was a candy ass film.

I believe he will be making a film titled "The Irishman" with DeNiro, Pacino and Pesci. That will be gold.

You know its was being vote by 371 directors, its not academy who decided to win

Timothy Snyder I think Lucas sympathizes with him because he was robbed in 1978 imo.

​@@divanshukumarmahajan4803 he definitely was. can you imagine what it's like to craft a movie like star wars? something so far out and different, and still make a great job? much harder than directing annie hall, imo. and he did a much better job. and i say this as a huge fan of annie hall.

@@MrOmniify lol star wars was saved on the editing room. The movie was a mess during production and nobody involved gave it any hope.

@@curierfromxibalba1155 lucas oversaw most of the editing anyway. he's the director. he's got his touch on everything. so if it was saved on editing or whatever, even if edited by other people, lucas was still very present. especially because he's quite the editor himself.

CurierFrom Xibalba Yeah the editing gave it a new hope : )

Joseph Goebbels hahah he's the best :'D but you are not bad as well joseph ;)

LiquidSwat Spielberg and Francis are defo better imo. Martin Scorsese is one of the goats tho.
