Oscar-winner Martin Scorsese (The Departed) said to trust him that the award of Best Director will mean a lot to the recipient. If anyone should know about waiting for an Oscar, it's Scorsese. Although it at first seemed No Country for Old Men's directors Joel and Ethan Coen didn't have much to say as they accepted the Academy Award for Best Director, they wound up delivering a decent speech (but not jubilant or emotional). It was almost a letdown after all the hype leading up to this year's Oscars.
