FOR MARTIN SCORSESE ... AT LONG LAST, OSCAR!

No wonder Marty Scorsese asked them to double-check the envelope when it was announced that he had won the Academy Award as Best Director of 2006 for his "The Departed"--he'd already won five Best Director nominations, without ever taking home an Oscar. For a complete list of the 2006 winners in all categories, see below (the victors are printed in large type).
