At the time of his death, Ernest Borgnine (95 years, 6 months, 14 days) was the 3rd oldest living Adacemy Award winning actor, behind Luise Rainer (102 years, 4 months, 26 days) and Olivia de Havilland (96 years, 7 days). He was the oldest living male winning actor.
With his death, Shirley Jones (78 years, 3 months, 8 days) moves into the top 25 living winning actors. George Kennedy (87 years, 4 months, 20 days) is now the oldest living male winner.
At the time of his death, he was the 4th oldest living acting nominee behind Luise Rainer, Olivia de Havilland, and Kirk Douglas (95 years, 6 months, 29 days).
With his death, Angela Lansbury (86 years, 8 months, 14 days) moves into the top 25 oldest living acting nominees.
Ernest Borgnine achieved what is the currently the 16th oldest age for any nominee (living or dead), though Celeste Holm (95 years, 2 months, 9 days) will pass him shortly. He achieved the 8th greatest age of any acting winner (with Holm right behind him in this category as well).
With the sketchier data on all nominees (not all birthdates are available and some for whom no death information is available are presumably dead) he is approximately 87th.
