Today marks the 51st anniversary of the rejection Marlon Brando He received the Academy Award due to Hollywood and American society’s mistreatment of Native Americans, on March 27, 1973, during the 45th Academy Awards ceremony; Actor Rock Hudson and actress Carol Burnett stood together to announce the winner of the Academy Award for Best Actor. The winner was “Marlon Brando” for his role in the movie “The Godfather”.
But the surprise was that “Brando” did not attend the ceremony, and instead sent a girl wearing an American Indian costume. This woman was “Sachin Littlefeather.” “Sachin” went up in front of the hosts of the ceremony and refused to receive the famous golden statue. Then she read a letter that “Brando” had sent her. .
What happened next is considered by many to this day to be one of the worst moments of the Oscars in history, as “Little Facer” was surprised by a torrent of boos that ultimately prompted her not to complete Brando’s speech. The next day, the New York Times published Brando’s entire speech, which appeared from In which this man is not only a great actor, but he also has a political vision that favors people, regardless of their features or origins.
In the first days following this incident, Brando was subjected to a torrent of criticism from his colleagues and from the press in the Hollywood community, but in the long run he gave a great lesson to actors and artists in the world, with his great stance that was watched by millions. Perhaps international actor Robert De Niro benefited from it when he declared his rejection of the racist policies of US President Donald Trump by insulting him on air and in front of everyone, in his speech at the Tony Awards ceremony.
