Best Answer

Although it was nominated for a whopping 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture of 1973, "The Exorcist" received only two Oscars. William Peter Blatty won for adapting the movie's screenplay from his best-selling novel. The film also won the award for Best Sound.

Yes. "The Godfather" won the 1972 Academy Award for Best Picture. Two years later, "The Godfather Part II" (1974) became the first movie sequel ever to be named Best Picture. The third film in the series, "The Godfather Part III," was nominated for Best Picture of 1990, but the award went to "Dances with Wolves."
