Legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese has etched his name in the annals of the Academy Awards, securing his tenth Oscar nomination for his latest masterpiece, “Killers of the Flower Moon.” This remarkable feat not only cements his status as an icon but also propels him to the coveted position of the most-nominated living director in the illustrious history of the Oscars.
Scorsese’s triumph comes as he surpasses the acclaimed Steven Spielberg, marking a watershed moment in the directorial landscape. The news of this historic nomination broke on Tuesday, as the Academy recognized Scorsese’s unparalleled contribution to the world of cinema.
While the maestro has long been a fixture in the Best Director category, having first been nominated for “Raging Bull” in 1980, it is his latest work that has propelled him to new heights. The cinematic luminary previously clinched the Best Director Oscar in 2006 for “The Departed,” and now, with “Killers of the Flower Moon,” he has once again etched his name in the record books.

Competing against formidable contenders, including Justine Triet for “Anatomy of a Fall,” Christopher Nolan for “Oppenheimer,” Yorgos Lanthimos for “Poor Things,” and Jonathan Glazer for “The Zone of Interest,” Scorsese faces a tough race for the coveted title at the 96th Academy Awards.
“Killers of the Flower Moon” itself is a tour de force, earning a total of ten Oscar nominations, spanning categories such as Best Picture, Best Actress in a Leading Role for Lily Gladstone, Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Robert Downey Jr., Best Editing, and even Best Original Song. As the anticipation builds for Hollywood’s most prestigious night, all eyes will be on Martin Scorsese as he vies for yet another accolade in his storied career.
