Who is the oldest Oscar directing nominee ever?

At the ripe age of 81, Martin Scorsese made Oscar history by becoming the oldest directing nominee ever for his work on “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Despite being in a career phase where most would consider retirement, Scorsese proves that talent and passion for cinema know no age limits. This is his 10th movie nominated for Best Picture, which is also an all-time record.
