Properly the Award of Merit, handed out by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) on an annual basis since the early 1930s; popularly known as simply the Academy Awards (despite the fact that many Academies hand out awards) or the Oscars (the nickname for the nude, sword-bearing man depicted in the statuette). Any awards not listed here can be assumed to have gone to their OTL recipient.

Patton (20th Century Fox).

George C. Scott as Gen. George S. Patton, in Patton. Scott refused the award, and would (many years later) ask that it be presented to the Patton Museum; the Academy grudgingly complied.

Larry Kramer, for Women in Love.

The following awards were handed out at the 44th Academy Awards, on April 10, 1972, recognizing the best in film for the year 1971:

The Emmy Awards have been presented by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (ATAS) on an annual basis since 1948. The name “Emmy” is a corruption of “Immy”, a nickname for image orthicon tubes used in early television cameras; the term was thus feminized to better fit the statuette, a winged woman holding an atom. Any awards not listed here can be assumed to have gone to their OTL recipient.
