That time Marlon Brando refused to accept his Academy Award for the Godfather. By MessyNessy. 23rd Aug, 2012. On March 27th, 1973, actor Marlon Brando refused to accept his Academy Award for Best Actor for The Godfather. In protest of the treatment of Native Americans in film, Native American actress, Sacheen Littlefeather appeared on the podium in his place and refused to accept the golden statue.
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.
