Best Answer

Patton (1970) won seven Academy Awards (Oscars): Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Sound, and Best Art Direction. George C. Scott famously refused to accept it, citing a dislike of the voting and even the actual concept of acting competition. He was the first actor, though not the last, to do so (Marlon Brando would, two years later, decline his Oscar for The Godfather in 1973.)

Patton (1970) was also nominated for Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects and Best Music, Original Score.

Virtually the entire film was shot in Spain. One scene, which depicts Patton driving up to an ancient city that is implied to be Carthage, was shot in the ancient Roman city of Volubilis, located in Morocco.

Paul Stevens appeared as Colonel Charles R. Codman
