Most film buffs know that Midnight Cowboy (1969) is the only X-rated Best Picture winner.
Name the first Best Picture winners to be rated G, PG, PG-13, and R.
Pictured: A Clockwork Orange (1971), the last X-rated film to be a Best Picture nominee. Like Midnight Cowboy, A Clockwork Orange saw its MPAA rating revised to "R" in later years.
Is PG-13 The Last Emperor?
Yes (1987).
G rating: Oliver!
R rating: The French Connection?
I'm sure this doesn't count… but is it true that Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs received a special award of one large Oscar and seven smaller Oscars?
Howard, you are correct on both counts.
Ben: yes, see this link:

Still looking for the first PG winner.
"Close Encounters of the Third Kind" might be a PG nominee, or possibly "E.T." as a winner. Maybe even "Titanic."
Sorry, Kelly, but no.
I'm looking for a movie with one word in its title.
I think it was Patton in the early 70s, shortly after the PG rating was instituted.
Heidi is correct.
And the last Best Picture winner with a rating of PG or G?
Driving Miss Daisy — 1989.
