While many honorary Oscars are given to veterans, the record for the oldest person to win a competitive Academy Award belongs to James Ivory. In 2018, at the age of 89, he won Best Adapted Screenplay for 'Call Me by Your Name.' Ivory was already a legend in Hollywood as one-half of the Merchant Ivory production team. During his acceptance speech, he wore a custom shirt featuring the face of the film's star, Timothée Chalamet. In the acting categories, Anthony Hopkins holds the record for oldest Best Actor winner (age 83 for 'The Father'), while Christopher Plummer remains the oldest Best Supporting Actor winner (age 82 for 'Beginners'). These wins serve as a reminder that creative brilliance in the film industry is not restricted by age.
