In all fairness, Scorsese’s The Age of Innocence (’93) won an Academy Award for Best Costume Design, and otherwise managed four other nominations — Winona Ryder for Best Supprting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score and Best Art Direction.
In my opinion the only Scorsese historical drama that felt like a grand slam was The Last Temptation of Christ (’88). Scorsese snagged a Best Director Oscar nomination. Barbara Hershey won a Best Supporting Actress Golden Globe award, and Peter Gabriel‘s excellent soundtrack music won a Golden Globe for Best Original Score.
