16 Hollywood stars who didn't accept their Oscars or boycotted the ceremony
"After six acting nominations and two honorary Oscars, Newman finally got a win for "The Color of Money" in 1987. But he wasn't there to accept it, telling the Associated Press, "It's like chasing a beautiful woman for 80 years. Finally, she relents, and you say, 'I'm terribly sorry. I'm tired.'"
"Knowing he was a shoe-in to win best actor for his role as Vito Corleone in "The Godfather," Brando boycotted the Oscars in 1973.In his place, he had Native American activist Sacheen Littlefeather attend. She went onstage to accept his award, and when she read Brando's speech about the mistreatment of Native Americans in film, she got booed."
"George C Scott declined his best actor nomination for "Patton" in 1970, and had the decency to let the Academy know that he would refuse the award if he won. He won anyway, and reportedly called the Oscars a "two-hour meat parade." Today, the actor would be irate that the "meat parade" often exceeds four hours."
"In 2016, although not nominated for "Concussion," Will Smith vowed not to attend the Oscars in protest of a lack of diversity. For the second year in a row, all 20 acting nominees were white. Smith told "Good Morning America," "We're part of this community. But at this current time, we're uncomfortable to stand there and say, 'This is okay.'" ( Will is absolutely correct, the bold was not to make a low key insult, but to show how outdated and antiquated the Academy Awards are)
