Scorsese named filmmaker of the year
Director Martin Scorsese won the top honor from the Directors Guild of America, Saturday, for his mob drama “The Departed.” Largely considered a good indicator for the Oscars, the DGA winner usually goes on to win the best-director Oscar at the yearly awards ceremony. If Scorsese can win an Oscar this year, it would mark his first win in 6 nominations in the category of best-director spanning a career of over 3 decades. His previous nominations include classic films such as Goodfellas and Taxi Driver. Here’s hoping he can actually win this year, The Departed was definitely one of the year’s best films.
