Latest News: Martin Scorsese Makes History with One of His 2024 Oscar Nominations
Few directors are as respected and acclaimed as Martin Scorsese. His newest movie, Killers of the Flower Moon, is his latest to earn him Oscar nominations for Best Director and Best Picture. At 81, Scorsese is the oldest person to be nominated for the directing award, his 10th shot at the particular trophy. He is also the most nominated living director in the category, though the late William Wyler holds the overall record at 12.
