—For his participation in “Maestro,” Steven Spielberg earned his 13th nomination for best picture, a record for an individual producer.
—Thanks to the epic drama “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Martin Scorsese becomes the most nominated living film director of all time, with a staggering 10 nominations. He beats his old friend Spielberg, who now sits in second place in the category, with nine nominations. Still, Spielberg surpasses Scorsese in actual directing awards, two (“Schindler’s List,” “Saving Private Ryan”) to one (“The Departed”).
—“Flower Moon” also brought a new mark for supporting contender Robert De Niro, who now has a record 12 credited roles in a best picture nominee. His co-star in the film, Leonardo DiCaprio, is now second on that count, with 11 such appearances.
Songwriter Diane Warren broke her own record this year by earning her 15th nomination for original song. She has yet to win a competitive Oscar.
