Scorsese rules....
Missed seeing Oscar Nite coz i don't own a fuckin' telly.
But that right there is a cinema moment worth beholding (though it was planned). The 4 (there were others of course, these 4 were the fresh out of college kiddos) people that started the American New Wave - 3 past winners handing over a first Oscar to probably the most deserving of the four - but who never really tried for an Oscar. Lucas and Coppola started out together to went on do their own things. Around the same time Spielberg and Scorsese started out with their own agendas and got to where they are now. More on that later. Here are the rest of the recipients of the statuette this year.
Also found out today that there's something called Google Books! Check this one out -> The New American Cinema by Jon Lewis.
