Not THAT antagonistic.
Although the lead actor did throw a glass in a fit that wasn't in the script. Only the actor, director and cameraman knew what was going to happen. Everyone else stayed in character.
I believe I said this was a Best Picture winner, so The Shining is Out.
Every Best Picture winner of the 1970s has been selected by the Library of Congress for inclusion in the National Film Registry for preservation: except this one.
The two main adult characters were supposed to have an antagonistic relationship, so to get his scene partner in character, the lead actor would occasionally drop the name of the lead actress' recently deceased fiance, himself an Oscar nominated actor.
The lead actress won an Oscar for her role. Later that night, she left it in the bathroom at an after party.
The lead actor also won an Oscar. He thanked his ex-wife for preparing him for the role.
One non-winner was for Best Supporting Actor. The child who was nominated was 8. He remains the youngest nominee in any category.

Human without the bean
Why didn't you say that 2 days ago Mr. Wolf? Your right Rottie, They are pretty good. Makes it tough on me to get my 2 cents in.
Human without the bean
I was way off going with "The Terminal", except that it didn't have any articles of clothing in the title. I assume WordWolf is correct, but I'm not familiar with it. But that's not unusual.

Stallone. Also well-known for reprising his Rocky role. I can't see him in Eddie Murphy's role in BHC, though... George

Come on, how many Best Picture winners of the 70s feature two antagonistic people and a ypung kid with a role significant enough to get a nomination?
I was hoping this would be a giveaway

Paper Moon?
I'm sure if I saw a list of Best Picture winners from the 70s, I could figure it out, but I don't remember the winners from that long ago.

Not Paper Moon
And we can rule out the Godfather I and II

I know Barbara Streisand and Ryan O'Neal starred in a couple of movies in the 70s, but I don't think either got Best Picture.

It's the young boy thing that's really throwing me. I suspect that his name would make the answer obvious.

I'm wondering if the kid was playing a banjo and... no, lead actor and a lead actress in an antagonistic relationship.
And a kid was in the movie.
*thinks*
Oh!
How about "KRAMER VS KRAMER"?
