Oscars, Martin Scorcese, film

It finally happened for Marty - a Best Director Oscar to call his very own. The legendary director of Taxi Driver, Goodfellas and Raging Bull (plus a number of films not starring Robert De Niro) won, after five previous nominations. (Let's take this opportunity to raise a glass to Kevin O'Connell who didn't win last night - on his 19th nom.)
