Who denied the Oscar awards?

Answer 1

Three Academy Award winners have refused their awards. The first was screenwriter Dudley Nichols, who turned down his Oscar for writing "The Informer" (1936). Nichols chose not to accept the award because the Screen Writers Guild was on strike.

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."
