Marlon Brando Turned Down an Oscar. Will This Ever Happen Again? Once upon a time, in the heyday of radical protest known as the 1970s, Marlon Brando turned down his Academy Award. It was for his 1973 performance in The Godfather, and his refusal had nothing to do with the film, his portrayal of Vito Corleone, or the Oscars in general.
The very first person to refuse an Oscar was Dudley Nichols. Nichols, who had won Best Screenplay for The Informer (1935), boycotted the Academy Awards ceremony because of ongoing conflicts between the Academy and the Writer's Guild. For his dramatic portrayal of the World War II general in Patton (1970), George C. Scott won the Academy Award for Best Actor. Scott refused the honor, stating that the awards ceremony was a a two-hour meat parade.. Marlon Brando also refused his award for Best Actor for The Godfather (1972). Brando, who said he refused the award because of the discrimination toward Native Americans by the U.S. and Hollywood, sent a woman supposedly named, Sacheen Littlefeather, to collect his award.
