Martin Scorsese Finally Wins Oscar, with a Little Help From Boston

(SawxBlog Illustration)

From all of us at SawxBlog and in Boston, congrats Martin on winning picture and director of the year for the Boston based film, The Departed (an awesome movie by the way).

Much like the Red Sox of '04 sometimes a long wait is worth it, god knows you could have easily had it sooner then this with the likes of Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and Goodfellas. I guess those can be looked at as your '46, '75, and '86 in a way.

Congrats again Mr. Scorsese, you've been making some great movies for a long time now.

even if nicholson really isnt irish, he certainly fooled me in that movie. is he a baseball fan?..the part about not wearing a sox cap.

bought the two disc set when it came out. easily top 5 in favorite movies. I also finally got around to watching the Boondock saints last night. I'm wondering why no one told me about the latter, sooner.

Yeah man, the movie is money.

Also, I think you just gave me a fun photoshop assignment.

Boondock Saints + Red Sox = Awesome Photo Illustration

Or maybe I'll make it part of the new wallpaper section I'm going to roll out this week, we'll see.
