Scorsese to Receive DeMille Award at Golden Globes

Written by bigpicture on

From: getthebigpicture.net

You could give Martin Scorsese just about any award you want and I don't think anyone would protest. Though he emerged at a time when American film was really blossoming, you could really only argue that among his contemporaries, Steven Spielberg is on the same level. Even then, I'm not certain Spielberg has been as consistent or as daring as Scorsese has in his career. They're also shooting for different goals most of the time.

A couple years ago, Scorsese finally got his Oscar, even if it's not the best example of his work and certainly not the first time he earned the award. At the Golden Globes in January, Scorsese will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award for his "outstanding contribution to the entertainment field." Spielberg, incidentally, won this past year.

We know the movies by heart - Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, The Last Waltz, Raging Bull, The Last Temptation of Christ, GoodFellas, Casino, Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed - and on that basis alone, Scorsese is long overdue for the highest such award handed out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. But he is also one of the leading forces in preservation of classic film. In fact, he formed The Film Foundation in 1990 for that exact purpose.
