The 1992 film 'Unforgiven' won four Academy Awards. It took home Best Picture, Best Director for Clint Eastwood, Best Supporting Actor for Gene Hackman, and Best Film Editing for Joel Cox.
The ceremony was the 65th Academy Awards, held on March 29, 1993. 'Unforgiven' led the night in wins and became only the third Western to win Best Picture, following 'Cimarron' and 'Dances with Wolves.'
The film was Eastwood's revisionist Western about William Munny, a former outlaw drawn into one final act of violence. Although Eastwood was also nominated for Best Actor and the film received nine nominations overall, it did not win for acting, screenplay, cinematography, art direction, or sound. A common mix-up is counting nominations instead of wins: 'Unforgiven' received nine nominations but won four Oscars.
