remained from the era. They filmed on Oklahoma oil land,
much of it on Osage Nation land. Crew took over the town of
Pawhuska and parts of Fairfax, Oklahoma, where much of the
story actually took place.
"Marty was so dedicated to getting this epic American saga
perfect," says Fantasia, "he met with Osage tribal leaders and
their congress to assure them he was there to tell their story."
"I am very, very pleased and honored to receive this award
particularly since it's named after Eva Monley, who played a
crucial role in bringing some of the finest films I've ever seen
to light. She was a remarkable woman," said Scorsese, as he
graciously accepted the award via video.
"For me, a location manager is a role, as crucial as the jobs
everyone talks about. You know, the location manager must
know the movie, to see the movie from every possible angle.
I rarely have time to thank them, the right way, properly. All
the great location managers I've worked with over the years,
you've helped take an image I see in my mind's eye and help
create the finished product on screen. And I thank you from the
bottom of my heart."
