Director Martin Scorsese explained that the incident was resulting from miscommunication, not censorship.
And then I didnt hear anything.
They assumed that I had spoken to Marty or somebody about it, but I hadnt, he said.

The beginning of my speech was edited, cut out, and I didnt know about it.
And I want to read it, he said.
“History isnt history anymore.
Truth is not truth.
Even facts are being replaced by alternative facts and driven by conspiracy theories and ugliness.
How dare they do that, actually.
But now I will go to accepting the award.”
Scorsese also chalked the whole incident up to miscommunication.
Apple has been a tremendous partner and there was no censorship, the statement continues.
There was an unfortunate miscommunication regarding the final version of the speech.
It was an incredible honor to receive this recognition.
