Is he the only actor to write & star in a film that won the Academy Award for best film ?



IDK but Rocky winning Best Picture over Network, All the President's Men, and Taxi Driver is mind-blowing. To me it is up there with any of the oscar travesties. I love the series but especially Network and Taxi Driver are elite. The first hour of Rocky makes me want to nap.

It legitimizes him over Arnold and makes the Arnold> argument hard

that said, i am on team Arnold because Predator, Total Recall, and T1/T2 kick arse

The biggest Oscar tragedy that I can think of, in best film category, is Forrest Gump winning best picture over Shawshank Redemption.

A cute/clever film winning over an absolute classic.

To each their own.

Rocky and Field of Dreams are my 2 all time favorites.

There is a reason why there are 5 rocky films, balboa, and the Creed spinoff.

It is timeless.

I'm surprised that Hollywood hasn't done a real Chuck Wepner movie.
Cinderella Man, The Fighter.
They could keep churning out great movies in the genre. I haven't understood where the actual biography went from Rocky.
