It's bountifully clear that The Towering Inferno deals with a major fire in a high rise office building. It was a huge movie in the 70's, from all accounts even taking a screenplay Oscar home. After a lifetime career of no Oscar Nominations, Fred Astaire earned one for his supporting role in this "disaster" film... the poor guy, already at a certain age might have thought he'd stand a good chance at getting the gold. He thought wrong. In his case his past great performances helped him not a mite with this nomination.
