Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Rick. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Please, please. Thank you. Thank you. Could you double-check the envelope, please? I mean, I'm overwhelmed with this honor from the Academy and also the honor of being presented by my old, old friends. We go back 37 years. I'm so moved, so moved.
不知不覺79th Oscar謝幕了... 在5次提名最佳導演都空手而歸之後,64歲的老馬丁擕『The Departed 無間道風雲』終于一舉獲得了最佳導演及最佳影片兩項大獎。或許奧斯卡早該將此殊榮頒給這位倔強却不失可愛的老頭。而在我眼裏,在衝奧的26年中他距離小金人最近的應該是「Raging Bull」(1980) 和「GoodFellas」(1990),但孰能料到呢?這兩部歷經風雨的傳世佳作,最終分別在第二年的奧斯卡上輸給了Robert Redford的處女導「Ordinary People」和Kevin Costner的處女導「Dances with Wolves」...
1997年的「Kundun」毀譽參半,老馬丁在獲得4項奧斯卡提名的同時,因影片涉及敏感的西藏問題受到中國政府的封殺,和編劇Melissa Matheson一起被列入"禁入西藏50人名單"...(PS:同年由Brad Pitt & David Thewlis主演的「Seven Years in Tibet」因涉及相同題材同樣被禁,兩名主演亦遭封殺)
但此後的影片,不論是「Gangs of New York」或「The Aviator」單從最佳導演這一獎項來評價,個人認為Martin完全可以提早些'受封'!
很多人在說Martin的獲獎有“終身成就獎”的意味之類的話,認爲他憑借「The Departed」獲獎是奧斯卡官方給他的安慰獎... 可笑!那我是不是能這樣看?“Martin Scorsese是為數不多的、能够在一届奧斯卡中同時獲得最佳導演、最佳影片及終身成就獎的好萊塢導演”?!
無論如何,79屆奧斯卡讓Martin Scorsese這位在美国当代最具影响力的导演之中,唯一还未拿到奥斯卡獎的导演如願以償。正所謂“有得必有失”,無怪乎美國權威電影網站IMDB.com在首頁發起票選,呼喚Martin的“接班人”!
曰:Now that Martin Scorsese has won an Academy Award for directing, who now holds the title of "Best contemporary American director who has never won a Best Director Oscar?"
另外,本屆頒獎典禮的一個瞬間,我想也必將爲好萊塢和影迷們所銘記!年逾花甲的Martin Scorsese獲得了最佳導演,而爲他頒獎的是他電影生涯中的三位老朋友:Francis Coppola、Steven Spielberg、George Lucas.
