None other than the almighty Scorsese won the Oscar for best picture of the year. It was more than obvious that Scorsese himself would have to win this award for the year.

I'm obviously looking forward to Oscar Sunday, and what better of an Oscar Sunday than a best picture award go to someone who truly deserves it, whether it's someone big or small.
