Marlon Brando won 2 Academy Awards for, "Best Actor of the Year."
The first was in 1954, for his role in the movie, "On the Waterfront."
The second was in 1972, for "The Godfather," which he would not accept. The reason he would not accept the award, was because he was protesting the way Hollywood treated American Indians.

How was marlon brando's childhood like?
Marlon Brando's childhood was not happy. His parents drank too much alcohol and argued often. Dorothy Brando blamed her husband for the failure of her acting career. The older Marlon Brando did not have a good relationship with his son. In a book about his life, the actor wrote that his father never had anything good to say about his son. The Brandos moved many times when Marlon was young. His parents separated when he was eleven, but they re-united after two years. Young Marlon was always getting into trouble at school. His father decided to send him to a military school in Minnesota. Marlon did not do well in classes there. But he did find support for his interest in theater. A drama teacher urged him to begin acting in plays there and he did. But he was expelled from the school for getting into trouble.

How many movies did Henry King direct?
48
How many movies has Enrique Iglesias direct?
none
Did Marlon Brando have a Religion?
There are a few rumours that Brando refused to swear on the bible at a trial stating that he was an atheist, however there is little supporting evidence for that. It is clear that Brando had unconventional beliefs (about a lot of things!) and apparently had a strong affinity for native American spiritual beliefs, he also sent his children to Jewish schools and named one of sons "Christian". So, all in all, he probably wouldn't have described himself as atheist.
How many Oscars have been replaced?
It likely happens all the time. Marlon Brando reportedly asked for a replacement for his 1954 Best Actor Oscar for "On the Waterfront" after it was stolen. This was after he refused the 1972 Best Actor award for "The Godfather."
