Hackman's two Academy Award wins were for Best Actor for his role as Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle in William Friedkin's action thriller The French Connection (1971) and for Best Supporting Actor for his role as a villainous Sheriff in Clint Eastwood's Western film Unforgiven (1992). He was also Oscar-nominated for three other roles: that of Buck Barrow in the crime drama Bonnie and Clyde (1967); a college professor in the drama I Never Sang for My Father (1970); and an FBI agent in the historical drama Mississippi Burning (1988).

He won two Golden Globes for both The French Connection (1971) and Unforgiven (1992) as well as the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for his comedic role as the family patriarch in the Wes Anderson comedy-drama film The Royal Tenenbaums (2001).
