I thought show was the oldest nominee period (not just first nomination)? I know IMDb lists it that way:

That's correct. 17 times nominations have gone to someone in their 80s, Stuart was the oldest (and Jessica Tandy did it twice).

Four people have actually won academy awards in their 80s, with Charles Chaplin being the oldest 83.9 years when he won Best Dramatic Score in 1973 for Limelight. Interestingly (using a very broad definition of that word), Limelight was released 20 years earlier in 1952 but was never released in Los Angeles until 1972 and, per the rules at the time, it qualified for consideration that year. The rules were then changed.

Van Snowden - if you don't know the name, you probably know the work - H.R. Pufnstuf and just about every Krofftt Brothers production, Chucky in Child's Play, Cryptkeeper from the 'Tales from the Crypt' show. A master puppeteer is gone

Solomon Burke, "the greatest soul singer", has gone Home. Well sung, good and faithful servant.

Very sad. There was no one quite like him. His "Don't Give Up On Me" album has been in constant rotation for me over the last several years. (It's a must - Burke performs songs written for him by Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Elvis Costello and many more. It's one of the best psychic salves I've ever found.)
