1972 was was a breakthrough year for African American actors as it was the first time three black actors were nominated in the lead acting categories, a feat that wouldn't be matched for three decades. Stellar performances in Cabaret left Joel Grey and Liza Minelli with the best actor and best actress award. In 1973 The Sting took home seven oscars including best picture of the year. Tatum O'neil also won an oscar making her the youngest actress to receive one. In 1974 The Godfather Part II won the best picture award against Chinatown and The Conversation, and Francis Coppola went home with three oscars. 1975 is when One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest took the top five awards, and also gave Nicholson his first oscar after four failed attempts. It's only the second film to accomplish that feat. In 1976 Sylvester Stallone wrote Rocky for himself to star in. The film won best picture and awarded John G. Avildsen with an oscar for best director.
