Midnight Cowboy (1969) is the only X-rated film ever to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. The film was originally given an R rating by the MPAA, but United Artists' studio head Arthur Krim elected to self-apply the X-rating, which at the time merely meant "Adults Only" and did not connote pornography. The X-rating was a self-applied rating. It was not a trademarked rating; therefore it became very popular in the marketing of low budget sexually explicit exploitation films, and in 1970 the studio resubmitted Midnight Cowboy to the MPAA and it received its original R-rating without edits. Midnight Cowboy has also been deemed "culturally significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.
The first X-rated film ever to win Best Picture was Midnight Cowboy (1969). In fact it is not just the first, but the only, X-rated film to win Best Picture. The rating was downgraded to R in 1971 without changing or removing any content.
The only film and sequel to win the Best Picture Oscar are Godfather (1972) and Godfather Part II (1974).
