Oscar winners John Williams and Martin Scorsese continue to prove that age is just a number with 2024 nominations.
Williams, 91, already the most nominated person alive and second most nominated ever behind Walt Disney, added an Original Score nomination for Indiana Jones and the Dial Of Destiny, his 54th overall. Meanwhile, Scorsese surpassed Steven Spielberg to become the living director with most Oscar nominations, 10, with a directing nom for Killers of the Flower Moon.
This is Williams’ second consecutive Oscar nomination; he was nominated in the same category last year for The Fabelmans when he became the oldest Oscar nominee at 90. Williams’ nominations, which include mentions for four movies in the Indiana Jones franchise, span seven decades, with the first one coming in 1968 for Valley of the Dolls.
And he may not be done. After previously announcing that he would be retiring after Dial of Destiny, Williams recently walked backed his comments.
“If a film came along that I was greatly interested in, with a schedule that I could cope with, then I wouldn’t want to rule anything out. Everything is possible. All is before us,” he said in December. “Only our limitations are holding us back. Or, to put it more simply: I like to keep an open mind.”
At 81, Scorsese has become the oldest Best Director Oscar nominee, eclipsing John Huston’s 1985 feat for Prizzi’s Honor when he was 79. The record for oldest winner in the category is held by Clint Eastwood who was 74 when he took the trophy for Million Dollar Baby.
With his 10 directing nominations, stretching from Raging Bull in 1980 til Killers of the Flower Moon this year, Scorsese is the second most-nominated director of all time, behind only the late William

On Saturday night, when Martin Scorsese collected a gold medallion—the honor given by the DGA to all five of its Feature Film nominees—he thanked his cast and crew and Apple for their support in making Killers of the Flower Moon, but he emphasized his thanks to the Osage Nation for their intrinsic role in the making of the film and its success.
Martin Scorsese has expressed his concerns about immersive and 3D screenings, and how they can distract from a film’s quality.Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, the Oscar-winning director questioned if films that make use of immersive formats like 4DX – which incorporate 3D visuals, moving chairs, water and smoke – can still hold up without those elements.“I was concerned that if a film needs more than just projection on a screen, if it needs chairs that bounce around or certain scents that are used in the theatre, or more technical elements besides the image on the screen, what would that film look like without those elements?” he said.“Would it still be a film? There are major elements of it missing.”Scorsese previously experimented with 3D for 2011’s Hugo, and he described it as “liberating” experience at the time. However, the filmmaker has since suggested that films that incorporate 3D may not work as well for viewers if they don’t see them in that format.“When you see films that were shot in 3D, but you see them flat – well there’s an entire arena of information that’s missing,” he said.

Martin, 55, told The Post. “I … had to profusely thank him for what he did because teachers don’t get a lot of love — and it’s even harder nowadays.“I know it’s a set [on ‘The Irrational’] and the students [in the series] are actors, but when I get up there I feel like I’m doing the Lord’s work with those class lessons,” he said.
