Killers of the Flowers Moon director Martin Scorsese has opened up about his distant relationship with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
“I always liked being nominated at the Academy, even though knowing – especially the fact that they didn’t nominate us for Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, when I didn’t get the Oscar, I understood that that wasn’t my lot in life,” Scorsese claims in a new interview. “But I always said this: just be quiet and make the movies.
