Martin Scorese won Best Director for The Departed(2006).
Martin Scorsese is not the best director. Martin Scorsese is the greatest director in the world. >>>>>>>>>>>>>> For me, he is one of the best living directors on earth. He is a recipient of the AFI Life Achievement Award for his contributions to the cinema and has received numerous awards from Emmys, Golden Globe, Academy Awards, BAFTA and Directors Guild of America. Among my favorite films of his are Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed and Shutter Island. I am looking forward to Hugo, his upcoming film starring Asa Butterfield, and I am sure that this will be land a nomination at the Oscars next year.
