To call Hitchcock a "master of suspense" is to underestimate his legacy. He was a master of the film medium, regardless of the genre.

He still had a sense of humor in his late years.

I just adore how he honored his wife, Alma Reville. He honored everything she was... film editor, script writer, mother, chef, and his beloved wife. That's love.

I cried when he says "I share this award, as I have my life, with her (his wife, Alma)"

He doesn't smile but you can tell he appreciates it on a deeper level than smiling could show.

Hitchcock may have been ignored by those who give awards, but he has the one reward that can't be taken away: A Reputation. Hitchcock has the ultimate reputation as a film director. He was one of the few people who showed the rest how it was done. Hitchcock always made his films "for the audience". He was very careful not to show off or be self-indulgent, the goal was always to be sure the audience was entertained.
