Pretty cool to read that the most Oscar nominated people include two film score composers who are richly deserving.

Only Disney beats two composers.

Pretty good list! But I'm pretty sure Williams has been nominated 49 times, not 48.

Unfortunately, as is often the case with these internet lists, it is inaccurate.

For example, acclaimed Director of Photography George J. Folsey (Meet Me in St. Louis, Green Dolphin Street, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Executive Suite, etc) was nominated for at least 13 Oscars, thus putting him ahead of Rick Baker, Martin Scorsese, Jack Nicholson, etc.

There are probably a lot more examples (MGM's Supervising Art Director Cedric Gibbons, perhaps?) if a list like this is to be believed.

At this time of year, just like the Spring flowers, Oscar hyperbole is in full bloom. smile

Visual Effects artist Dennis Muren has won something like 9 Oscars and racked up around 16 nominations. He currently holds the record for most Oscar wins of any living person.
