New Delhi: James Ivory, the writer of Oscar nominated 'Call Me By Your Name', has become the oldest Oscar Winner in the history. The 89-year-old screenwriter won the Academy Award for Adapted Screenplay category. Earlier on the red carpet, the 89-year-old director-producer threw major support goals. Instead of going with the conventional white button-down shirt under his tuxedo, Ivory donned a white shirt with a twist -the face of 22-year-old star of the film, Timothee Chalamet printed on it.

The romantic-drama has been nominated for three more awards, apart from Adapted Screenplay, in 2018 - Best Picture, Original Song and Lead Actor. Interestingly, Ivory is also the oldest-ever BAFTA winner as well for the same movie.
