John Williams has received his 51st Oscar nomination, breaking his own record for most Oscar-nominated living person.
Williams became the most-nominated living person two years ago, following a nomination for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, eventually losing to Ennio Morricone for The Hateful Eight.
The composer was honoured for his Star Wars: The Last Jedi score and faces stiff competition from Hans Zimmer and Jonny Greenwood for Dunkirk and Phantom Thread, respectively.
Although The Last Jedi picked up best score, Williams’ collaboration with Steven Spielberg — The Post — failed to win a nomination.
