The role of Don Vito Corleone won Academy Awards for Marlon Brando (Best Actor of 1972 for "The Godfather") and Robert De Niro (Best Supporting Actor of 1974 for "The Godfather Part II"). Brando declined his award. Peter O'Toole was nominated for Best Actor of 1969 for a musical remake of "Goodbye, Mr. Chips," which won the 1939 Best Actor award for Robert Donat.
