Up until last night, Martin Scorsese had been Oscar-less. Scorsese had been nominated six times previously for an Oscar for Best director and never once before last night was he selected to be honored for outstanding Direction This placed him in the company of such directors as Alfred Hitchcock (5 nominations), Robert Altman (5), Stanley Kubrick (4), Federico Fellini (4), Ingmar Bergman (3), David Lynch (3), George Lucas (2), Orson Welles (1) and Sergio Leone (0), none of whom have won a competitive Oscar for directing, though Altman, Hitchcock, Fellini, Bergman, and Welles were all awarded honorary Oscars, and Lucas won the Irving G. Thalberg Award. . Last night his film The Departed took 4 Oscar awards including Best Picture of the Year winning the award broke a three-decade losing streak, and when he was presented the Oscar by three titans -- Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg – it was legendary. 1967: The Big Shave (short)
1967: Who's That Knocking at My Door
1970: Street Scenes
