Martin Scorsese and Daniel Day-Lewis reunited at the National Board of Review Awards gala.
Retired actor Daniel Day-Lewis made a surprise appearance at Thursday night’s National Board of Review Awards gala to honor Martin Scorsese with the best director award.
Scorsese and Day-Lewis previously worked together on 1993’s “The Age of Innocence” and 2002’s “Gangs of New York,” but if it were up to Scorsese that wouldn’t be their last collaboration. The legendary filmmaker teased that “maybe there’s time for one more” film together during his acceptance speech.
“Thank you, Daniel. To receive this honor presented by Daniel is just an honor in itself,” Scorsese said to the crowd at Manhattan’s 42 Cipriani. “We did two films together and it’s one of the greatest experiences of my life, I must say. Maybe there’s time for one more. Maybe! He’s the best.”
Day-Lewis, who retired from acting in 2017, called working with Scorsese “one of the greatest joys” of his life.
“I was a teenager when I discovered Martin’s work. With a light of his own making, he illuminated unknown worlds that pulsed with a dangerous, irresistible energy.
