“The Worst Night of My Life”: Scorsese doesn’t have enough Oscars for this film, according to his editor

After the release of Raging Bull, he edited all of Martin Scorsese’s films! The legendary Thelma Schoonmaker, who once again collaborated with the acclaimed filmmaker for Killers of the Flower Moon (now in theaters), has put her talents to work directing over twenty feature films, including AlloCiné’s Audience Choice Award.

A three-time Oscar winner for Best Editing (Raging Bull, Aviator, and The Departed), Thelma Schoonmaker recently opened up about her long and fruitful association with Scorsese and lamented that she only won one statue for Best Director, in 2006 for The Departed.

“(…) He should have won on March 7, in my opinion. But we’re really unlucky at the Oscars, because movies often go off the beaten path. Sometimes people are not used to it (…)“He trusted the microphone of the magazine EsquireHe is said to have particularly resented the fact that Scorsese had received nothing for Raging Bull, the seminal work that marked their first major collaboration.

“I think he would have enjoyed winning for Raging Bull. When we were standing there, whoever won, I was waiting for Marty to come in with the Oscar. But he didn’t. It was the worst night. of my life. It was amazing to see him not win. Such With a film that is so brilliantly shot.”

“But it was a tough movie.”continues Thelma Schoonmaker, still at the microphoneEsquire. “And people like others , I realized that it was a very good movie, even though I had not seen it. People may have been a bit put off by the harshness of Raging Bull. But look how long the film lasted. This is a reference film.”

With Killers of the Flower Moon no doubt garnering plenty of nominations at the next Academy Awards, Martin Scorsese might be able to win a second statuette.
