19 Celebs Who Refused To Attend The Oscars Or Accept Awards
There are more reasons than you might think to avoid the Oscars. For some, it's a question of diversity (think: the 2015 #OscarsSoWhite hashtag); for others, it reads as meaningless industry posturing. And for a sleepy few, it seems, the Academy Awards are an unworthy distraction from a good nap. Here are 19 celebs who boycotted, skipped, or slept through the event, and why:
6.Katharine Hepburn won four Oscars, and attended the ceremony for zero of them.
8.Kendrick Lamar was absent from the 2019 Oscars, where his and SZA's Black Panther song All The Stars was nominated for Best Original Song.
11.Alice Brady didn't show up to accept her Best Supporting Actress award in the '30s due to a broken ankle, so someone else accepted it for her. Except, it turned out that "someone else" was a randomer — and a thief.
12.Richard Burton knew he wouldn't win in 1966 after four previous nominations and no awards, so his wife Elizabeth Taylor stayed in Paris with him that year out of protest. She won Best Actress that year.
17.The Academy could not reach director Jean-Luc Godard via “telephone, by fax, by emails to various friends and associates,” or even through "Fed-Ex" to tell him he'd been given an honourary Oscar.
19.Think you're a hater? Well, I bet you've never said "I really detest all the mutual congratulation baloney and the invidious comparisons which they evoke," like actor John Gielgud did when speaking of the Oscars.
