Martin Scorsese is one of the most accomplished directors in movie history and he is set to get his due praise from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA). The group recently announced that it would be awarding him a fellowship for his significant achievement, the New York Post reports. The honor is a testament to the enormous body of work Scorcese has produced in his decades in Hollywood. Despite helming critical favorites including "Taxi Driver" and "Goodfellas," it was not until his 2008 movie "The Departed" when he finally won an Academy Award for Best Director. As such, it should surprise nobody that BAFTA chose him.
