Martin Scorsese Praises Golden Age Producer David O. Selznick’s Ahead of PGA Award Honor: ‘He Had A Producer’s Showmanship and Sense of Grandeur’
Martin Scorsese will be honored with the David O. Selznick Achievement Award in Theatrical Motion Pictures at the PGA Awards on Feb. 25.
Over the course of his long career, Martin Scorsese has amassed scores of producing credits on projects ranging from “Uncut Gems” to “Once Were Brothers” and “Vinyl” in addition to his own work on films such as Oscar and PGA nominee “Killers of the Flower Moon.” His love of cinema and preservation of it is well established, making him a more than worthy recipient of the PGA’s David O. Selznick Achievement Award in Theatrical Motion Pictures. It was simply that “my collaborators and I felt like it was time that I took a credit that reflected that.” His basic approach as a producer: “Everything is about the good of the picture — the process of getting it onto the screen.” Given his knowledge of and passion for film history, it’s no surprise to hear him wax rhapsodic about David O. Selznick, who produced everything from the iconic blockbusters “King Kong” (1933) and “Gone With the Wind” (1939) to the first movie Scorsese ever saw, the Western “Duel in the Sun” (1946).
