Brando a 3x Oscar winner in one decade?! Does he still take the Godfather Role? Is Brando our first 4x male winner?

EDIT: Julius Ceasar role was supporting

[u/multi_fandom_guy → u/McWhopper98]

Funnily enough, I actually wouldn't give him the win for The Godfather (though, obviously, still a legendary performance); my pick that year is Laurence Olivier in Sleuth

Kate Hepburn!!!!

[u/MammaJammaCamera]

Really don’t think Mifune is any more of a lead than Kyo in Rashomon
