=== 2000–2015: Film and television work === [[File:Leo Scor Diaz(GangsofNY)-.jpg|thumb|left|At the ''[[Gangs of New York]]'' screening at the [[2002 Cannes Film Festival]] with [[Leonardo DiCaprio]] and [[Cameron Diaz]]]] In 1999, Scorsese directed a documentary on Italian filmmakers titled ''Il Mio Viaggio in Italia'', also known as ''[[My Voyage to Italy]]''. The documentary foreshadowed Scorsese's next project, the epic ''[[Gangs of New York]]'' (2002), influenced by (amongst many others) major Italian directors such as Luchino Visconti and filmed in its entirety at Rome's famous [[Cinecittà]] film studios. With a production budget said to be in excess of $100 million, ''Gangs of New York'' was Scorsese's biggest and arguably most mainstream venture to date. Like ''The Age of Innocence'', it was set in 19th-century New York, although focusing on the other end of the social scale (and like that film, also starring Daniel Day-Lewis). The film marked the first collaboration between Scorsese and actor [[Leonardo DiCaprio]], who became a fixture in later Scorsese films. The production was highly troubled, with many rumors referring to the director's conflict with [[Miramax|Miramax Films]] boss [[Harvey Weinstein]].<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://film.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,,860378,00.html |title=Gangs of Los Angeles |work=The Guardian |date=December 15, 2002 |access-date=March 3, 2010 |location=London |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080111091503/http://film.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0%2C%2C860378%2C00.html |archive-date=January 11, 2008}}</ref> The final cut of the movie ran to 168 minutes, while Scorsese's original cut was over 180 minutes long.<ref name="guardian_film_of_the_week">{{Cite news |author=Peter Bradshaw |date=January 10, 2003 |title=Gangs of New York |url=http://film.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/Critic_Review/Guardian_Film_of_the_week/0,,871400,00.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080111091432/http://film.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/Critic_Review/Guardian_Film_of_the_week/0%2C%2C871400%2C00.html |archive-date=January 11, 2008 |access-date=March 3, 2010 |work=The Guardian |location=London}}</ref> Despite denials of artistic compromise, some felt that ''Gangs of New York'' was Scorsese's most conventional film, featuring standard film tropes that Scorsese had traditionally avoided, such as characters existing purely for [[exposition (literary technique)|exposition]] purposes and explanatory [[flashback (literary technique)|flashbacks]].<ref name="guardian_film_of_the_week" /><ref>{{cite web |date=July 1, 2003 |title=Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Gangs of New York at |url=http://www.epinions.com/content_136317079172 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012014134/http://epinions.com/content_136317079172 |archive-date=October 12, 2007 |access-date=March 3, 2010 |publisher=Epinions.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |author=Xan Brooks |date=January 9, 2003 |title=Past master |url=http://film.guardian.co.uk/features/featurepages/0,,871715,00.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080111091447/http://film.guardian.co.uk/features/featurepages/0%2C%2C871715%2C00.html |archive-date=January 11, 2008 |access-date=March 3, 2010 |work=The Guardian |location=London}}</ref> Even so, the film received generally positive reviews with the review aggregator [[Rotten Tomatoes]] reporting that 75 percent of the reviews for the film they tallied were positive and summarizing the critics writing, "Though flawed, the sprawling, messy ''Gangs of New York'' is redeemed by impressive production design and Day-Lewis's electrifying performance."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/gangs_of_new_york/ |title=Gangs of New York |website=Rotten Tomatoes |date=December 20, 2002 |access-date=January 5, 2012 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120105013039/http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/gangs_of_new_york/ |archive-date=January 5, 2012}}</ref> The film's central themes are consistent with Scorsese's established concerns: New York, violence as culturally endemic, and subcultural divisions down ethnic lines. Originally filmed for a release in the winter of 2001 (to qualify for Academy Award nominations), Scorsese delayed the final production of the film until after the beginning of 2002; Miramax Films consequently delayed the film until its release in the [[Oscar season]] of late 2002.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://film.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/Exclusive/0,,680795,00.html |title=In briefs: Gangs of New York release delayed again |work=The Guardian |date=April 8, 2002 |access-date=March 3, 2010 |location=London |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080111064545/http://film.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/Exclusive/0%2C%2C680795%2C00.html |archive-date=January 11, 2008}}</ref> ''Gangs of New York'' earned Scorsese his first Golden Globe for Best Director. In February 2003, ''Gangs of New York'' received 10 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for Daniel Day-Lewis; however, it did not win in any category. The following year, Scorsese completed production of ''[[The Blues (film)|The Blues]]'', an expansive seven-part documentary tracing the history of blues music from its African roots to the Mississippi Delta and beyond. Seven filmmakers including Wim Wenders, [[Clint Eastwood]], [[Mike Figgis]], and Scorsese himself each contributed a 90-minute film (Scorsese's entry was titled ''Feel Like Going Home''). In the early 2000s, Scorsese produced several films for up-and-coming directors, such as ''[[You Can Count on Me]]'' (directed by [[Kenneth Lonergan]]), ''Rain'' (directed by Katherine Lindberg), ''[[Lymelife]]'' (directed by [[Derick Martini]]) and ''[[The Young Victoria]]'' (directed by [[Jean-Marc Vallée]]). At that time, he established [[Sikelia Productions]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://variety.com/exec/martin-scorsese |title=Martin Scorsese |work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |access-date=September 3, 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140111054732/http://variety.com/exec/martin-scorsese/ |archive-date=January 11, 2014}}</ref> In 2003, producer [[Emma Tillinger Koskoff]] joined the company.<ref name="SD">[http://www.screendaily.com/tillinger-named-production-president-at-scorseses-sikelia/4027253.article Tillinger named production president at Scorsese's Sikelia] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140224143634/http://www.screendaily.com/tillinger-named-production-president-at-scorseses-sikelia/4027253.article |date=February 24, 2014 }}, screendaily.com, retrieved February 19, 2014</ref> Scorsese also produced several documentaries, such as ''[[The Soul of a Man]]'' (directed by Wim Wenders) and ''Lightning in a Bottle'' (directed by [[Antoine Fuqua]]).

''The Aviator'' was nominated for six [[Golden Globe Awards]], including [[Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Drama|Best Motion Picture-Drama]], [[Golden Globe Award for Best Director|Best Director]], [[Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay|Best Screenplay]], and [[Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama|Best Actor-Motion Picture Drama]] for Leonardo DiCaprio. It won three, including Best Motion Picture-Drama and Best Actor-Motion Picture Drama. In January 2005 ''The Aviator'' became the most-nominated film of the [[77th Academy Awards]] nominations, nominated in 11 categories including Best Picture. The film also garnered nominations in nearly all the other major categories, including a fifth Best Director nomination for Scorsese. Despite having the most nominations, the film won only five Oscars. Scorsese lost again, this time to director Clint Eastwood for ''[[Million Dollar Baby]]'' (which also won Best Picture). ''[[No Direction Home]]'' is a documentary film by Scorsese that tells of the life of Bob Dylan, and his impact on American popular music and the culture of the 20th century. The film does not cover Dylan's entire career; it focuses on his beginnings, his rise to fame in the 1960s, his then-[[Electric Dylan controversy|controversial transformation]] from an acoustic guitar-based musician and performer to an electric guitar-influenced sound and his "retirement" from touring in 1966 following an infamous motorcycle accident. The film was first presented on television in both the United States (as part of the [[Public Broadcasting Service|PBS]] ''[[American Masters]]'' series) and the United Kingdom (as part of the [[BBC Two]] ''[[Arena (UK TV series)|Arena]]'' series) on September 26 to 27, 2005. A DVD version of the film was released the same month. The film won a [[Peabody Award]] and the [[Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video]]. In addition, Scorsese received a [[Primetime Emmy Awards|Primetime Emmy Award]] nomination for [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Directing for a Documentary/Nonfiction Program|Outstanding Directing for a Documentary/Nonfiction Program]], losing to ''[[Baghdad ER]]''. [[File:Martin Scorsese at the 65th Annual Peabody Awards.jpg|thumb|upright|left|Scorsese at the 65th Annual Peabody Awards in mid-2006]] Scorsese returned to the crime genre with the Boston-set thriller ''[[The Departed]]'', based on the Hong Kong police drama ''[[Infernal Affairs]]'' (which is co-directed by [[Andrew Lau]] and [[Alan Mak (director)|Alan Mak]]). The film continued Scorsese's collaboration with Leonardo DiCaprio and was the first time he worked with [[Matt Damon]], [[Jack Nicholson]], [[Mark Wahlberg]], and [[Martin Sheen]]. ''The Departed'' opened to widespread critical acclaim, with some proclaiming it as one of the best efforts Scorsese had brought to the screen since 1990's ''Goodfellas'',<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chud.com/index.php?type=reviews&id=7778 |title=Review: Departed, The |publisher=Chud.com |access-date=March 3, 2010 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071217030945/http://www.chud.com/index.php?type=reviews&id=7778 |archive-date=December 17, 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://efilmcritic.com/review.php?movie=15256&reviewer=198 |title=Movie Review – Departed, The |publisher=eFilmCritic |access-date=March 3, 2010 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100228074450/http://efilmcritic.com/review.php?movie=15256&reviewer=198 |archive-date=February 28, 2010}}</ref> and still others putting it at the same level as Scorsese's most celebrated classics ''Taxi Driver'' and ''Raging Bull''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.reelviews.net/movies/d/departed.html |title=Reel Views |publisher=Reel Views |access-date=March 3, 2010 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100707001223/http://www.reelviews.net/movies/d/departed.html |archive-date=July 7, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.allmovie.com/work/the-departed-310756/review |title=All Movie – The Departed |publisher=Allmovie.com |date=October 6, 2006 |access-date=January 5, 2012 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100124103211/http://www.allmovie.com/work/the-departed-310756/review |archive-date=January 24, 2010}}</ref> With domestic box office receipts surpassing {{US$|129.4{{nbsp}}|link=yes}}million, ''The Departed'' was Scorsese's highest-grossing film (not accounting for inflation) until 2010's ''[[Shutter Island (film)|Shutter Island]]''.
