Gene Hackman won his first Oscar for portraying Popeye Doyle in which film? Correct

The correct answer is The French Connection. Gene Hackman won his first Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of the character Popeye Doyle in the 1971 film The French Connection. Unforgiven, The Birdcage, and Mississippi Burning are all notable films in which Gene Hackman starred, but he did not win an Oscar for his role in any of these movies. It was his performance as the gritty and determined Detective Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle in The French Connection that earned him his first Oscar, solidifying his reputation as a versatile and talented actor in the industry.
