They should have just given it to Peter O'Toole, come on 8 nominations and no wins. That guy deserves it. His turn as Lawrence of Arabia is one of the great cinematic performances of all time, and the Academy has never recognized his talents bar a crummy honorary Oscar .
A lot of people might be saying, why are they booing or wow whats wrong with them. We fail to remember that it was probably acceptable back then, just as we forget that it was ok to be racist. Nowadays, everyone is breathing down peoples' necks for every word they speak.
The very same people who said "terri schiavo was murdered" are the same asswipes who booed this young lady some 30 years earlier! Christian sociopaths are the largest threat to TRUE DEMOCRACY!
@ilovemyschnauzer1 he's not meaning to refuse the award that way, he just doesn't believe in awards. What's wrong with that? It doesn't take away from his great performance.
@ilovemyschnauzer1 Lucky enough? Ha. Marlon Brando had no competition in his time. WE were lucky enough to be graced by his performances. Marlon doesn't need to take shit.
What fucking dicks booed her. Fucking pieces of shit that probably get overpaid while they treat the Native American actors like trash. I am white by the way.
I've always been a fan of marlon brando but I've now gained a whole new amount of respect for the man. To do something like this is truly an act of compassion & understanding for a group of people who perhaps aren't often given their due.
@fairyfellermaster I don't buy it! Do you think this act diminished his reputation or popularity in any way? Where the sacrifice. I believe it was a stunt to gain prestige and notoriety for a weak ego and a juvenile personality, which is, after all, what most Hollywood actors suffer from.
what gives me more pleasure than watching this? hearing from Marlon himself saying that if it was possible to do over again that night, he would do the same thing!
since when does being an actress determine whether or not someone's heritage? even if she was an actress, that doesn't mean she wasn't affected by what happened.
and to those who say brando was an idiot for doing this: you have no idea what these people have gone through and how many people do NOT know what they have endured.
thank you native american studies for letting me know a different piece of US history
'Miss Vampire 1970' accepts the award on behalf of the prankster and 'dilittante social activist' Marlon Brando (who was actually watching the show at home giggling with friends and family). By this stage the negro Civil Rights movement had dumped him and even the Panthers had give him a wide birth; sensing only another of his passing commitments. The Indians were in more need of a champion (or maybe, just less politically savvy). Brando jumped on the band wagon and grew another belly.
This is a lovely gesture and I respect Marlon Brando for this, truly. However, this woman should have put more conviction in her speech. I think her speaking as though she would roll over at any second made it harder for the audience to respect what she was doing.
i bet when they heard how Brando declinded his Oscar, Michael Caine, Laurence Olivier, Peter O'Toole and Paul Winfield were all like "well if mr. brando doesn't want his oscar, ill take it for him." haha
immediately after this, Clint Eastwood had to present an award, and he said: "I don’t know if I should present this award on behalf of all the cowboys shot in John Ford westerns over the years!"
@mrkyle316 Watch "Reel Injun" (I think it may be on Netflix, otherwise, it's abundant on the web) It's a documentary about the stereotypes and slander of the Native American people in Hollywood movies. It's crazy.
@Chris9183 you would like if we never existed, you probably spend all your time posting against the Holocaust, Slavery, war ravage countries, hungry Africans, good causes.. the lady representing Marlon Brando was for a cause, to let the world know we still exist, the people booing in the crowd represent you.. Sorry if the white picket fence, "Leave it to Beaver Days" are no more.. If people like you ran this country with your ideas, Hell yeah there will be another Civil WAR!
when george c scott rejected his win two years earlier he basically said FUCK YOU to the academy for his belief that its all about their politics, with this rejection marlon brando just wanted to get attention with a white girl pretending to be a native american
Brando was an asshat. To politisize this event with a completely unrelated cause is pure selfishness and childish. His cause may have merrit, but this was completely inappropitae. I bet he didn't hesitate to take any paychecks from the motion picture industry that gave him such a great life. Why would he then dump on them and their members during such an important and festive occation with this kind of behavior? Asshats do that.
@stockmack Excuse you! I'm sure that "oh some of them weren't nice to some people a long time ago" justifies what was almost genocide! And anyway, there basically is no such thing as a "full-blooded" Native America, because, due to their population being nearly entirely wiped out, they have had to have children with people of other ethnicities, not to mention that the white men probably raped a couple of thousand of the Native American women while they were at it. So, don't be so close minded.
@CareRegnumDei That was a different time really....people were a lot more understanding and had a social conscience. That's not so much the case now - she'd get booed off the stage, attacked as a hippie liberal who needs to get a job, and Brando would be attacked for using the Oscars as a platform for a cheap political stunt. A good recent example would be the reception that Michael Moore got about 8 years ago when he said "Shame on you. Mr. Bush" during his Oscar acceptance speech in 2003
Didn't it turn out that she wasn't Native American after all? Marlon Brando was so talented, but apparently a huge douchebag who was a nightmare to work work
@misscarly12 Because of the way native american people were being treated at the time and the way they were being portrayed in films. That is, they were portrayed as savages and violent peoples who are stupid or unequal to white men. Also, they were usually very racistly portrayed (think Disney's Peter Pan). Obviously, things have improved since then but there are still problems.
@misscarly12 Because the U.s army were trying to pry the people of wounded knee off there land - and marlon brando wanted to protest so he asked this women to say waht she had to say
@luguhah, in fact Roger Moore took the Oscar home as noone asked for it afterwards such was the shock of what happened. He did give it back the next day.
I admit that I can buy into her last name being Littlefeather, because the White dictators in the converting schools gave our people whatever crappy names came to mind, but I don't understand her regalia. She says she is Apache, and Apache is the sister tribe of the Navajo, my people. We certainly do not wear that regalia, not just our tribes but any southwestern tribes for that matter. It actually seems like a costume, with the sparkle on the shoulders. Either way, doesn't seem right to me. :/
@Starlightkitty12 (I´m sorry for my ignorance but...) I want to ask you, cause by this comment i´m a bit confused. Does this means you didn´t choose this type of names or last names? Like littlefeather... the white dictators did??
I want to know just because of general culture, it would be nice ... Well thanks.
Well he won an award for playing an Italian Gangster. Now I'm Italian American and I loved the movie and Brando, but what about the treatment of Italian Americans by the film industry? Maybe he could have sent Sophia Loren up to discuss that topic.
@trajan75 I agree with you, the stereotypical betrayal of italian americans is so cliche and stupid. Not everyone italian american is a 'gangsta' who belongs in a Mafioso style family. It's a poor representation of the people and the culture.
However I believe the issue here lays deeper, I believe Sacheen is speaking about the treatment of Native Americans in general. The native americans have been and still are being treated very poorly.
@trajan75 I'm sorry... I must have missed the part of the history books where Italian Americans had almost their entire ethnicity slaughtered, moved onto reservations, and then had a bunch of white people toting their land as their own, then had the audacity to portray Italian Americans as unintelligent savages.
Brando chickened out. I remember the backlash then. He should have come and not accepted the award like a man- have her present and air his issues. If he wanted to change the system, make movies with Native Indians and other minorities. Speeches are noble but a paycheck is better.
brando is saying to the academy that he just doesnt care about their incompetent opinion

However I believe the issue here lays deeper, I believe Sacheen is speaking about the treatment of Native Americans in general. The native americans have been and still are being treated very poorly.

@trajan75 I'm sorry... I must have missed the part of the history books where Italian Americans had almost their entire ethnicity slaughtered, moved onto reservations, and then had a bunch of white people toting their land as their own, then had the audacity to portray Italian Americans as unintelligent savages.

Brando chickened out. I remember the backlash then. He should have come and not accepted the award like a man- have her present and air his issues. If he wanted to change the system, make movies with Native Indians and other minorities. Speeches are noble but a paycheck is better.
