Scorsese!

At long last!

Martin Scorsese wins Best Director for The Departed at the 79th Academy Awards.

"So many people over the years have been wishing this for me," Scorsese said. "And I'm saying thank you."

And also, one of my all-time favorite actors, Alan Arkin, won for Best Supporting Actor in Little Miss Sunshine.


"More than anything", Arkin said, "I'm deeply moved by the open-hearted appreciation our small film has received, which in these fragmented times speaks so openly of the possibility of innocence."



Oh, almost forgot...the most beautiful woman
that night...
