John Williams To Receive The 44th AFI Life Achievement Award

Bespin refugee - October 08, 2015
On June 9, 2016, John Williams will become the first composer to receive AFI's 44th Life Achievement Award. Williams, known for the soundtracks to Jaws (1975), Superman: The Movie (1978), E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982), and of course, the Star Wars and Indiana Jones films, has five Academy Award® wins and 49 nominations in total (the record for the most Oscar® nominations of any living person); as well as, three spots on AFI’s 100 Years of Film Scores (the 1977 StarWars soundtrack was ranked number one).

“John Williams has written the soundtrack to our lives,” said Sir Howard Stringer, Chair, AFI Board of Trustees. “Note by note, through chord and chorus, his genius for marrying music with movies has elevated the art form to symphonic levels and inspired generations of audiences to be enriched by the magic of the movies. AFI is proud to present him with its 44th Life Achievement Award.”

The AFI Life Achievement Award Tribute television special will air on TNT later in June 2016, followed by an encore presentation on Turner Classic Movies.
