In 1975, The Godfather: Part II became the first sequel in cinematic history to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Its six Academy Awards also included Best Director for Coppola, Best Supporting Actor for De Niro, and Best Adapted Screenplay for Coppola and Puzo. The Godfather and The Godfather Part II remain the only original/sequel combination both to win Best Picture.
