Rocky Wins Best Picture: 1977 Oscars

Rocky 1976 The `Italian Stallion', Rocky Balboa, a small-time boxer from Philadelphia works in a meat factory for a pittance, and part time by collecting debts for a loan shark. When heavyweight champion Apollo Creed visits Philadelphia, his managers want to set up an exhibition match between Creed and a struggling boxer, touting the fight as a chance for a "nobody" to become a "somebody". The match is supposed to be easily won by Creed, but someone forgot to tell Rocky, who sees this as his only shot at the big time. Starring Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Carl Weathers, and Burgess Meredith
