Someone forgot to tell Martin Scorsese and John Williams about the often complained-about issue of ageism in Hollywood. The famed director and composer both broke new Oscar records Tuesday, when the nominees for the 96th Academy Awards were revealed. Legendary composer John Williams’ work on “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” earned him his 49th Oscar nomination for original score. With a total of 54 career Oscar nominations when including original song, Williams has more Academy Award nominations than any living person. According to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences that is responsible for the awards show, the late Walt Disney held the overall record with 59 total Oscar nominations.
