The first actor to refuse an Academy Award was George C. Scott -- a longtime critic of the awards show -- who declined his 1970 Best Actor Oscar for "Patton." Two years later, Marlon Brando refused to accept his 1972 Best Actor Oscar for "The Godfather" in protest of how Native Americans had been portrayed on film through the years.
Both actors were nominated for Oscars again the year after their refusals -- Scott for "The Hospital" (1971) and Brando for "Last Tango in Paris" (1973). Neither won.
The first person to refuse an Academy Award was Dudley Nichols, who won a 1935 Adapted Screenplay award for "The Informer." Nichols declined the honor because of a writers strike at the time.
Two actors have declined their Academy Awards: George C. Scott, who won the 1970 Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of General George S. Patton in "Patton"; and Marlon Brando, who won the 1972 Best Actor Oscar for his performance as Don Vito Corleone in "The Godfather."
