“Marty’s trailblazing career as a producer, marked by decades of bold, breakthrough projects, demands to be celebrated,” PGA presidents Donald De Line and Stephanie Allain said in a statement. “His mastery and unwavering commitment to the craft are truly unparalleled. We are proud to honor him and his many filmmaking achievements this year at the PGA Awards.”
Added Scorsese, “In March 1965, I was flown out to Los Angeles by the PGA to receive an award for my student film It’s Not Just You, Murray!. I was 22 at the time. At the same event, a much older filmmaker was also being honored. His name was Alfred Hitchcock. 58 years later, I’m proud to say that I am now the much older filmmaker. And I’m touched and extremely honored to be receiving an award named after a true legend among producers, David O. Selznick. It makes me feel like I’ve come full circle.”
