Why does Scorsese always end up getting screwed at Oscar time?!

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2004)

This is one of THE definitive "mobster" films of all time. It's one of Scorsese's best works, yet he ALWAYS ends up losing to someone less deserving I mean Dances with Wolves was OK, i'm not going to say it sucked at all, but come ON... I mean, "Taxi Driver" losing to "Rocky" is by FAR, one of the greatest upsets of all time I mean does the Academy have a grudge against Scorsese? They never give him a directing award or film...yet they'll give it to a movie about a boxer making his way to the top living out the old "American dream" fantasy tale instead of a dark look at the decay of human compassion, the deeper and darker films And telling him to come to the 2003 Oscars just to watch all of his 12 nominations win nothing, it's like an on going joke they are playing on Scorsese Will somebody give this man an Oscar!!!
