17 What awards did Silence of the Lambs win?

Silence of the Lambs won the Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actor
(Hopkins), Best Actress (Foster), Best Director (Demme), and Best
Screenplay Adapted from Other Medium (Tally). The only other film to
recieve these awards is One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (at least if i
