Joe Pesci's three Academy Award nominations were for film roles directed by whom?

All three of Joe Pesci's Academy Award nominations were for films roles directed by Martin Scorsese. The three films that resulted in Oscar nominations are "Raging Bull" (1980), "Goodfellas" (1990), and "The Irishman" (2019). These are Scorsese's films where Pesci had frequent collaborators with the skilled director. "Casino" (1995) is the only film where he didn't receive an Oscar nomination, while being in a film directed by Scorsese.

Of Pesci's three Oscar nominations, he ended up winning the Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for "Goodfellas". He played the role of the gangster character Tommy DeVito.

In all his movies with Scorsese, he is known to frequently steal the show whenever he shows up in the movie, and this director even got Pesci to come out of retirement for 2019's "The Irishman". Pesci is also frequently as funny as he is menacing whenever he's in a Scorsese film. His collaborations with the director have led to countless memorable scenes.
