Steven Spielberg’s autobiographical feature The Fabelmans earned a number of Oscar nominations this morning, including one for Spielberg’s longtime collaborator, composer John Williams, and one for veteran actor Judd Hirsch, who plays Boris, a fictionalized version of Spielberg’s great uncle in the movie.
At 90 years 350 days, Williams became the oldest person to be nominated for an Oscar (excluding honorary awards.

Hirsch’s second Oscar nomination comes 42 years after his first; he was nominated in the same Supporting Actor category in 1981 for Ordinary People. This eclipses the previous record for longest gap between Oscar acting nominations held by Henry Fonda with The Grapes of Wrath in 1941 and On Golden Pond in 1962, for which he won.

Williams edged out Call Me by Your Name screenwriter James Ivory, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom costume designer Ann Roth, and Faces Places director Agnès Varda who were 89 at the time of their nominations. Ivory went on to become the oldest Oscar winner; Williams would also surpass that record if he wins what would be his sixth Oscar. He previously won for Fiddler on the Roof (1971), Jaws (1975), Star Wars (1977), E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) and Schindler’s List (1993).
Williams, who has now amassed 53 Oscar nominations, announced last year that he would retire after scoring the upcoming Indiana Jones 5 but recently indicated that he may
