Cabaret actually did better than the Godfather in the 1972 academy awards. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabaret_(1972_film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabaret_(1972_film) "The film also brought Minnelli, daughter of Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli, her own first chance to sing on screen, and she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. With Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor (Grey), Best Director (Fosse), Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Sound, Best Original Song Score and Adaptation, and Best Film Editing, Cabaret holds the record for most Oscars earned by a film not honored for Best Picture." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Godfather https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Godfather "At the 45th Academy Awards, the film won Best Picture, Best Actor (Brando), and Best Adapted Screenplay (for Puzo and Coppola)." I like both films.
