It was just really well done, not narratively groundbreaking or anything.
Scorsese won the Oscar because he’s fucking Scorsese and they realized they should probably give it to him 12 years late for GoodFellas.
Still a goddamn good movie. Didn’t know DiCaprio could actually act until I saw that thing.
