The Academy of Arts and Sciences of the United States of America awards the Oscars every year, which are considered the most important awards in the film industry worldwide. For many it is a sign of triumph, for others it is a cause of rejection. For this reason, some Hollywood stars came to reject the statutes that one day gave them the prestigious Academy. Who are the people involved in this new story?
Alice Brady’s Story
She was the first to turn down an Oscar after winning for best supporting actress in 1937 for her role in Old Chicago. How do you reject that? As almost all the protagonists of this gesture do: he did not attend the gala. But the man went up on the stage and collected the board in his name. Of course, it wasn’t a surprise that Alice Brady was a relative: it was spontaneous.
Katherine Hepburn and her interview with the Oscars
She only knew what was going through her head, but after 12 nominations (only Meryl Streep surpasses her) and 4 Oscars, it can be said that Katherine Hepburn did not attend any of these galas. He did just that when his friend Lawrence Weingarten won the 1973 Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award.
Elizabeth Taylor
The actress refused to be announced at the gala Who’s Afraid of the Virgin Woolf? Why? Well, everything seems to be related to his love problems, and little to judge him.
Stanley Kubrick
Directors also don’t want to collect their own awards, like Stanley Kubrick did when he won the Academy Award for Best Special Effects for 2000: A Space Odyssey. Maybe he was a little pissed off because he never won a higher class award?
