John Williams Nominated for 54th Oscar

Legendary composer John Williams is in a category of his own when it comes to the Oscars — following today's Best Original Score nomination for 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,' Williams officially broke his own Academy Awards records.

At 91, Williams beat his record as the oldest person to ever be nominated in a competitive Oscar award category for his work on the fifth Indiana Jones film. At this year's Oscars, Williams will be up against the scores for American Fiction(Laura Karpman), Killers of the Flower Moon(Robbie Robertson), Oppenheimer(Ludwig Göransson) and Poor Things(Jerskin Fendrix).
