Infernal Affairs is better than The Departed

Of course it is, and it's one of the many ironies of Hollywood history that Martin Scorsese got his only Oscar for a (good but redundant) remake and not for one of his masterpieces.

That was his only oscar? wtf :/

Yep. Between 1981 (Raging Bull) and 2012 (Hugo Cabret) Scorsese was nominated 7 times for directing and additionally twice for adapted screenplay, but he only won in 2007 for this remake of Infernal Affairs, which btw was completely dominated by Jack Nicholson (I could link you to a very interesting interview on that matter with The Departed's cinematographer Michael Ballhaus, who left Hollywood after this movie, but the interview is in German).
