“Primarily I have to reach out and thank the Osage Nation themselves,” he mentioned. “I went out there right before Covid hit, only a couple of times, and got to know them a bit, and I realized I had to change the whole script… Without the Osage, without them in front of the camera, and I gotta tell you, behind the camera, and around us all the time, this certainly would not be the picture you see today.”
Incredibly, that is Scorsese’s thirteenth particular medallion and the present’s host Judd Apatow joked, “I don’t think it’s that special to him anymore.”

“I’m a New Yorker, so for me to have made a picture in Oklahoma, the land and the light… For me an exterior shot is a long hallway with a lightbulb,” Scorsese mentioned because the viewers laughed. “Waayyy downtown.”
Jonah Hill introduced the medallion to Scorsese and joked, “When the greatest director of all time asks you to present him an award you say one thing: ‘How much?’”
