That is solely partly about John Williams as a result of the Jaws composer, surprisingly, doesn’t maintain the document for essentially the most Oscar wins in music classes. He’s, nevertheless, proof that the document is unlikely to be damaged. Between composition and songwriting awards, it’s Alfred Newman main the pack with 9 wins, all for Greatest Unique Rating.
It’s not unattainable to interrupt, but when Williams, along with his staggering 54 nominations, hasn’t carried out it, who will? The closest to Newman’s mark is Alan Menken, who has eight Oscars.
