Because it's not one of his worst movies

I'm sorry to say this user, and I'm warning you, this might be shocking, but the Oscars are not in fact about rewarding quality.

Oh no, without a doubt. They just gave him an Oscar because it was 'his turn' but why couldn't they decide that it was his turn when he released a better movie?

in case his next movie is even shitter and they'll never be able to give him an oscar, but the man deserves one so they decides to use this one

Because they wanted to give him it for a routine job of work to show him who's boss.

this oscars mean jack shit

They mean a hell of a lot to the people that get them.

because one of his worst movies is way better than what was competing

its not his best but wayy better than anything else he's done since Casino.
unless you really liked kundun or shutter island or something

Gangs of New York, Aviator and Departed are all better than Casino.

Apologize.

The Aviator, certainly, The Departed, possibly, but Gangs, no way.

Bringing Out the Dead is supposed to be really good.

You mean like with Peter Jackson?

What are you implying, sonny?

>Scorsese
>making a good movie

Top kek.

That Peter Jackson hasn't made a good movie since the Fellowship of the Ring.

Call me a pleb, but i love The Departed.

MAYBE MAYBE NOT MAYBE GO FUCK YOURSELF

Yeah, got me. Here, have your reply, champ

Babel and Letters From Iwo Jima were both better than this

Only on Cred Forums somebody has to say that. sm.h

Because he is old and Academy wanted to give him an award before he passed away and it was pretty evident that he wouldn't be making anymore good films as his career was declining.

Okay, you're a pleb.

Yeah, not really. Scorsese is far from showing signs of dying, and even farther when he got the guy, and he never stopped making quality cinema and constantly being recognized for it, before and after.
But that post was the classic Cred Forums expert supposing things from thin air, so whatever.

I tought jack was pretty good in The departed

And then Wolf of Wall Street came out and everyone remembered why Martin Scorsese is so revered.

Is it true that this is just a rip-off of an Asian film? Did whitey steal and take all the credit again?

No, now fuck off nigger

>le The Departed is bad epic maymay

It's not bad it's just nowhere near as good as Infernal Affairs.

>Infernal Affairs
You mean internal, right?

It's way better.

No.

If most other directors had made it, no, it wouldn't be considered a bad movie. But it's a bad movie when considered the rest of Marty's resume.

I wouldn't say Infernal Affairs is way better. Just better all around.

Who will die first? Martin Scorsese or Ridley Scott?

Well, Scott's ability to make a good movie certainly died first.

This is a stupid logic. Even more when it IS a great film. And of course he made better, but this can't weigh against his 'lesser' works.

ARE YOU A COAP?

Because the Oscars are shit
