James Ivory Becomes Oldest Person To Win Academy Award

Filmmaker James Ivory, who once worked closely with late Indian star Shashi Kapoor, became the oldest Oscar winner at 89 for his adapted screenplay for Call Me By Your Name.



The screenplay of the gay romance movie, directed by Luca Guadagnino, is based on the eponymous novel by Andre Aciman. Ivory beat other movies contenders for The Disaster Artist, Logan, Molly's Game and Mudbound for the award.

This was Ivory's 4th Oscar nomination, but the first in the adapted screenplay category.

Earlier, Ivory had received directing nominations for A Room with a View (1986), Howards End (1992) and The Remains of the Day (1993).
