For the first time in 44 years a composer will be awarded the AFI Lifetime Achievement. And if there is one composer it is John Williams.
With over 150 credits Williams has written some of the most iconic scores. From Jaws to Star Wars to Jurassic Park to Harry Potter rarely does he disappoint with a score. As Sir Howard Stringer (Chair, AFI Board of Trustees) puts it "John Williams has written the soundtrack to our lives". He currently holds the record for most Oscar nominations for any living person with 49. Although he hasn't won in a number of years he has won a total of 5 with his first win in 1971 for Fiddler on the Roof.
The ceremony will be on June 9, 2016 in Los Angeles. It will be shown on TNT later that month.
