For the first 20 years or so of our careers Marty and I made movie after movie together. For the last 10 we have been presenting each other with awards. We are like an old married couple. We built a life together, we have great memories, we just don’t sleep together anymore... and I can’t help thinking that if the times were a little different, how proud Cicil DeMille would have been to be honoured with the Martin Scorcese award.
-Robert De Niro's tribute to Martin Scorcese
It is hard to believe we've only been watching movies for the last one hundred years; while other art forms have been around for thousands. As we look back in history, there are those names that truly define their own medium. Picasso, Da Vinci, Shakespeare, Beethoven - to name a few. And a thousand years from now, as the history of film unfolds, there will surely be one name for future generations that is synonymous with master film making and the word cinema and that name is Mr. Martin Scorcese.

Don't miss the acceptance speech of Marty Scorcese. It is a tribute to cinema and Cicil DeMille himself.
i see that the video is deleted in youtube. nevertheless, i am sure other versions are available there. yes, Scorsese is indeed a great man who loves movies and makes great movies.
