Schoonmaker has been the longtime editor of Martin Scorsese, whom she met while at NYU Grad Film. She has edited 23 of his films over the years, winning numerous awards for her work. Scorsese presented the award to her saying that, "Ultimately it’s about trust and her fierceness to fight for the truth in the film."
