Leonardo DiCaprio is dapper in a suit while attending the Santa Barbara International Film Festival: Kirk Douglas Award Honoring Martin Scorsese held at The Ritz-Carlton Bacara on Thursday (November 14) in Goleta, Calif.
The 44-year-old Oscar winner was joined by Al Pacino and Roger Durling as they all stepped out to help honor the man of the night, Martin Scorsese.
“One of the most remarkable things about Martin Scorsese — besides being one of our greatest filmmakers — is the generosity that he exudes to everybody on set, from his creative team to his crew and especially the actors that he works with,” Leonardo expressed during his speech (via THR). “He treats each and every one of us as a real collaborator and that is not easily said. You can say you’re a collaborator but Marty truly wants to know what you have to say as an artist.”
“These collaborations have been forged through the years. They’re strong, symbiotic relationships with Robert De Niro, Harvey Keitel, Joe Pesci, and dare I say myself. Through the years, these collaborations have become more like his alter egos, his muse, or more like his family,” Leonardo continued. “His body of work will be revered for centuries and generations to come.”
