Question: Which actor won an Academy Award for his performance in The Godfather? Answer: The Godfather is widely regarded as one of the greatest films in world cinema. Marlon Brandos performance as Vito Corleone, earned him an Academy Award for Best Actor. Brando boycotted the Academy Award ceremony, sending instead American Indian Rights activist Sacheen Littlefeather, who appeared in full Apache dress, to state Brandos reasons, which were based on his objection to the depiction of American Indians by Hollywood and television. Pacino also boycotted the Academy Award ceremony, as he was insulted at being nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor award, noting that he had more screen time than his co-star and Best Actor winner Brando and thus he should have received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.
