Scorsese will be recognized at the next Bafta Awards Ceremony

One of my favorite directors of cinema’s history is Martin Scorsese. I love his films, specially “Taxi Driver”, “Goodfellas” and his last documentary “George Harrison: Living in the Material World”. For this reason I’m very glad with this news. Finally Martin Scorsese will be honored in the next awards ceremony “Bafta” this year.

The Bafta Awards it’s a ceremony where a group of British critics gives to the best movies of the year an important price. It’s considered like the “British Oscars” in the world of cinema.

In the past, this important price was received by great directors like Alfred Hitchcock, Charles Chaplin, Steven Spielberg, Judi Dench, etc. And I believe than the talent of this director is not minor in relation of these others, so is very compressible this election for this year.

This award is part of the many recognitions than Martin Scorsese had receive this year, like the nomination to the golden globe awards with “HUGO”, one of his lasts films in three dimensions, for example, and is very probably than Scorssese get a nomination to the academy award like best director for this work this year.

After the announcement, Scorsese said to the press: "It is a great honor to be recognized by the British Academy and to join the ranks of such an esteemed group of industry colleagues and friends."

This ceremony is going to be realize on Twelve February at the Royal Opera House in London, and the complete list of nomination will be publish on Seventeen January.

GOOD FOR SCORSESE
