The movie caused a national sensation in the [[United States]]. It broke the record for the biggest grossing movie of all time, and was nominated for ten [[Academy Award]]s. But its content in depicting possession by the [[devil]] was considered controversial, and only two of the ten nominations won [[Academy Award]]s: Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Sound.<ref>http://www.filmsite.org/exor.html</ref>
