George C. Scott
In 1971, George C. Scott made international headlines by refusing to accept his Best Actor Oscar for his performance in the title role of Patton, deriding the awards ceremony as a "meat parade." Marlon Brando would do the same thing two years later, claiming Hollywood's mistreatment towards Native American actors as his reason for rejecting the Best Actor Oscar for The Godfather.
