Martin Scorsese will be honored with the David O. Selznick Lifetime Achievement Award in February, the Producers Guild of America (PGA) reported.
Martin’s groundbreaking career as a producer, marked by decades of bold and innovative projects, demands to be celebrated, PGA Presidents Donald De Line and Stephanie Allain said in a joint statement. His mastery and unwavering commitment to the craft are truly incomparable.
Scorsese has six decades of experience as a producer and remembered the first time he was honored by the guild.
In March 1965, the PGA flew me to Los Angeles to receive an award for my student film Its Not Just You, Murray. She was 22 years old then. At the same event, a much older filmmaker was also honored. His name was Alfred Hitchcock, Scorsese said in a statement. 58 years later, I am proud to say that I am now a much older filmmaker. And I am humbled and extremely honored to receive an award named after a true legend among producers, David O. Selznick. He makes me feel like he’s come full circle.
