Death, taxes, and this person receiving an Oscar nomination are the only sure things in life.
Not only is John Williams arguably the most revered and accomplished film composer of all time, but he is also synonymous with the concept of film scoring. Williams' compositions have been stuck in the minds of all audiences throughout generations. The iconography of Jaws, Star Wars, and Superman would be incomplete without his contribution. The scores are as memorable than the shark, Millennium Falcon, and the titular superhero, respectively.
John Williams' Nominations Spans Decades How many times has John Williams been nominated for an Oscar? The answer is logical, considering Williams' legendary status, but it still sounds outrageous. As of the most recent 95th Academy Awards that were held last March, Williams has received a whopping 53 nominations. He has won five, which include scoring for Fiddler on the Roof, Jaws, Star Wars, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and Schindler's List.
Along with his brilliance as a composer, Williams has dabbled in songwriting, having received five Oscar nods from that respective category. He received dual nominations for Home Alone: one for scoring and one for Best Original Song . If his track record with the Oscars wasn't remarkable enough, there are 13 instances where Williams was nominated at least twice in the same Oscar ceremony, including a few occasions where he received three nods.
The layers of Williams' filmography, and by proxy his slate of Oscar nominations, is never-ending. His extensive career has taken him down various paths of collaborations and eras of Hollywood. He was honored for his scoring of the Irwin Allen-produced disaster movies of the 1970s: The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno.
