Latest News: Martin Scorsese Makes History with One of His 2024 Oscar Nominations

Few directors are as respected and acclaimed as Martin Scorsese. His newest movie, Killers of the Flower Moon, is his latest to earn him Oscar nominations for Best Director and Best Picture. At 81, Scorsese is the oldest person to be nominated for the directing award, his 10^th shot at the particular trophy. He is also the most nominated living director in the category, though the late William Wyler holds the overall record at 12.

“It’s so exciting,” Scorsese shared during a recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. “I mean you look back—10 nominations over the years, I honestly don’t know how that happened. I don’t know because you don’t make films for awards. You make the films the best way you can make them.”

Despite his plethora of Best Director nominations, Scorsese has only won once, for The Departed.

11-Year-Old Martin Scorsese Draws Storyboards for His Imagined Roman Epic Film, The Eternal City

Martin Scorsese’s mean streets are as long gone as graffiti-festooned subway trains, the real Max’s Kansas City, and Yogi Berra’s pennant-winning Mets. But while the 1973 film that broke open his career is now over forty years old, Scorsese hasn’t looked back, nor has he stayed trapped in the rough milieu of New York gangster films. He’s adapted Edith Wharton, told stories of the Dalai Lama, Howard Hughes, handfuls of rock and blues stars, and cinematic hero Georges Méliès (sort of).

Last year’s The Wolf of Wall Street further cemented Scorsese’s reputation as a director with more breadth than almost any of his contemporaries. But it would perhaps be a mistake to call Scorsese’s genre-hopping an evolutionary development. The series of storyboards here for an imagined widescreen Roman epic called The Eternal City— drawn by 11-year-old Scorsese—show us that his vision always exceeded the cramped Little Italy streets of his youth.
