Time for a round of Oscar trivia! Here are some intriguing facts about this year's slate of nominees.
If Kazuo Ishiguro wins for best adapted screenplay (for "Living"), he would become only the third person in history to win both the Nobel Prize for literature, which he won in 2017, and an Academy Award. The other two? George Bernard Shaw (who won his Oscar in the same category as Ishiguro is nominated in, in 1939 for "Pygmalion") and Bob Dylan (who won best song in 2001, for "Things Have Changed" in "Wonder Boys").
If John Williams wins for best original score (for "The Fabelmans"), he will become the oldest Oscar winner in history at age 90, surpassing James Ivory, who was 89 when he won best adapted screenplay in 2018 for "Call Me By Your Name." With 53 career nominations, the first of which was in 1968, Williams is the second-most nominated person in Oscar history; only Walt Disney, with 59, had more. Williams has won five times, most recently for "Schindler's List" in 1994.
