Narrative:

Was instructed to turn left onto taxiway Z off of taxiway F holding short off runway 36R. There was a B727 on taxiway Z heading west at about taxiway G, an MD80 on taxiway Y heading east holding short of runway 36R and a B777 ahead of us on taxiway Z, heading west between runways 36R and 36L. After completing turn we had crossed the hold short line for runway 36R on taxiway Z. Had I not been distracted by the B727 off our right wing, I'd have said something.
