HOLLYWOOD
- Hollywood star
Leonardo DiCaprio
is backing director
Martin Scorsese
to win an Oscar for
The Departed
, and finds it ridiculous the filmmaker has never won an Academy Award.
Despite making acclaimed movies including
Taxi Driver
,
Mean Streets
and
Raging Bull
during his four-decade-long career,
Scorsese
has never won an Oscar, and
DiCaprio
insists the snub is "almost a practical joke."
The 32-year-old actor, who has starred in
Scorsese
movies
Gangs of New York
,
The Aviator
and
The Departed
, says, "It would be wonderful if this film was rewarded, I think it very much deserves it. And I certainly think (
Scorsese
) does. It's quite long overdue, almost a practical joke at this point that that hasn't happened."
However,
Scorsese
admits he doesn't expect to win the Oscar, saying, "I learned a long time ago, with
Mean Streets
and
Taxi Driver
, that you can't make a film to get the golden statue. And if you try it doesn't work."
