Both Hoffman and Voight were nominated for 'Best Actor' awards. The film, itself, though won the Academy Award for 'Best Picture.' | |

| It's the only X-rated film to ever win the Oscar for Best Picture. | |

Don't tell me it was like Brokeback Mountain? I recall there might have been gay undertones but not like BBM. | |

| - Quote :
- The film was rated "X" (no one under 17 admitted) upon its original release in 1969, but the unrestricted use of that rating by pornographic filmmakers caused the rating to quickly become associated with hardcore sex films. Because of the stigma that developed around the "X" rating in the ratings system's early years, many theaters refused to run "X" films and many newspapers would not run ads for them. The film was given a new "R" (children under 17 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian) rating in 1971, without having anything changed or removed. It remains the only X-Rated film ever to win the Oscar for Best Picture, be shown on network TV (although the R reclassification had taken place by then), or be screened by a sitting U.S. President, Richard Nixon.
