Reply to comment by Remote-District-9255 in TIL that Al Pacino boycotted the 45th academy awards in 1973, because despite having more screen time than Marlon Brando, he was nominated for best supporting actor and not best actor. by VengefulMight

Interesting -- I've always considered "The Godfather" to either mean Michael, or maybe Michael and Vito. It is Don Michael's origin story.

The novel that it was based on was both Vito and Michael's origin stories, but they left the young Vito stuff out of the movie and put it in the sequel.
