Cue the Ronettes' "Be My Baby," or maybe the Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter."
Martin Scorsese, whose iconic use of those songs (in "Mean Streets" and in a couple of different films, respectively) has made him one of the most rock 'n' roll savvy of all directors, has been named recipient of the second Music+Film Award by the Broadcast Film Critics Association.
The award will be presented to Scorsese at the Critics Choice Movie Awards on Thursday, January 12 at the Hollywood Palladium.
The award, according to the BFCA press release, "honors a single filmmaker who has touched audiences through cinematic storytelling, and has heightened the impact of films through the brilliant use of source and original music."
