With the release of The Godfather, Coppola's status as an A-list director was established. But he had won an Oscar before. For what 1970 film did he receive the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay?

Coppola co-wrote Patton in 1970 with Edmund H. North after filming The Rain People in 1969. The duo won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, Coppola's first Oscar ever.
