No. But Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro won Oscars in different categories for their performances as Don Vito Corleone. Brando won (but infamously declined) the 1972 Best Actor award for "The Godfather." De Niro won the 1974 Best Supporting Actor award for "The Godfather Part II."
The Godfather
The movie earned eleven Academy Awards nominations, and the winner of 6 Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor (Robert DeNiro as the young Don Corleone), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Art Direction, and Best Score Oscars; the first sequel to win Best Picture - and considered an equal to the original.
"The Godfather Part II' won six Academy Awards, including Best Picture of 1974.
Mario Puzo
In 1972 Cabaret won 8 Oscars, including Best Director, but lost Best Picture to The Godfather.
No, but it has happened with a movie and its sequel. The role of Don Vito Corleone won Academy Awards for Marlon Brando (Best Actor of 1972 for "The Godfather") and Robert De Niro (Best Supporting Actor of 1974 for "The Godfather Part II"). Brando declined his award. If Jeff Bridges wins the 2010 Best Actor Award for his performance as U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn, it would be the second time that two actors won Oscars for playing the same character in different films. John Wayne won his only Oscar for his portrayal of Cogburn in the 1969 version of "True Grit."
