What is the difference between an Oscar and an Academy Award?
No, and Academy Award is not exactly the same thing as an Oscar (but almost). An Academy Award is an award presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The Academy presents about seven different types of awards. The most popular award that they present is officially known as the Academy Award of Merit (Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Picture, etc). The prize for winning this award is the Oscar statuette, so most people refer to the award as the Oscar. Some of the other award winners also receive the Oscar statuette, and some of the other award winners receive plaques or scrolls. One of the awards is always a bust instead of the Oscar statuette. A couple of times the Oscar statuette has been modified for special awards. Shirley Temple received a pint sized Oscar statuette when she was presented with a Special Juvenile Award. And Walt Disney received an Oscar statuette with eight tiny Oscar statuettes when he was presented with a Special Award for the creation of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - the first animated feature.Yesbasically the 'oscars' is just a nickname for the academy awards

Did any movie ever win Oscars for both best actor and best supporting?
Yes, though it's not all that common. The first year Best Supporting Actor was a category was 1936, so out of a potential 77 times the awards could have been given to actors in the same movie, it's only happened 4 times so far. It's not quite the Kiss of Death for a Best Actor nominee if his costar picks up Best Supporting Actor, but it is close. (To some extent, this makes sense ... if people come out of a movie talking about how good a supporting actor was, it may be an indication that the lead actor was kind of blah.)The first was 1944's Going My Way with Bing Crosby (Best Actor) and Barry Fitzgerald (Best Supporting Actor).Others (I'm just going to list movies and years, not the actual winners, because I don't feel like typing that much)1946 The Best Years of Our Lives1959 Ben-Hur2003 Mystic RiverThe 2013 awards haven't occurred yet, but there are four films that have nominees for both awards, so it could happen again.
