Martin Scorsese is one of the best American directors of all time, and although he was nominated for the Oscars multiple times, he only won once
Even though Martin Scorsese was nominated for Best Director at the Oscars many times, he only managed to bring a statuette home once: a deserved win for The Departed, which also won Best Picture - the ceremony's most prestigious prize. One of the most talented directors of all time, Scorsese influenced a whole generation with his intricate crime thrillers, many of them adapting unbelievable true stories to the big screen.
2 The Last Temptation Of Christ After Raging Bull's success, Scorsese dedicated himself mostly to black comedies that weren't really of the Oscars' taste. Then all of a sudden, Scorsese released The Last Temptation Of Christ, a brutal retelling of Jesus Christ's final days and his dreams of an ordinary life. As expected from a movie of this nature, controversies got in the way of any serious winning campaign for Scorsese, who was nominated for Best Director.
4 Gangs Of New York Gangs Of New York made a huge success at the 2002's Oscars by earning 10 nominations, but ultimately lost every single one of them. The film was set in 1865 and recounted episodes in the life of rival gangs competing for control in New York while the Civil War was at its peak.
6 Hugo Hugo might seem like an unusual movie to fall in Scorsese's hands, but it's one of the director's must-see movies: the film tells a lighthearted story about childhood, flirts with fantastical elements, and was made with an estimated $180 million . Hugo was undeniably Scorsese's love letter to the movies, bringing out the kid in him and earning him two nominations: Best Director, and since he was one of the film's producers, Best Picture.
