Dear Academy,

[sonicduck85]

Alfred Hitchcock
Stanley Kubrick
Akira Kurosawa
Sergio Leone
Robert Altman
Orson Welles
Ingmar Bergman
Charlie Chaplin

None of these men ever won Oscars in competition.

Can we please not add Scorsese to this list? The Departed is as good as any movie he's made. Give him the Oscar. Please.

Thank you.
