Actress Who Snubbed Oscars While Still Winning It

1.) Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn holds a Hollywood record for being nominated 12 times and winning four Oscars over her long career, (best actress for 1962’s “Long Day’s Journey Into Night,” 1966’s “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner,” 1968’s “The Lion in Winter” and 1981’s “On Golden Pond”), but she never attended the ceremony even once to hear her name called. "As for me, prizes are nothing,” she once said. “My prize is my work.” Hepburn made exactly one appearance at the Academy Awards in 1974 to present the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award to producer and friend Lawrence Weingarten. “I’m living proof that a person can wait 41 years to be unselfish,” she quipped.

 

 

2.) Elizabeth Taylor 

Screen legend Elizabeth Taylor was a frequent Oscar nominee, nabbing her first award for her role as a high-class escort in 1960's "Butterfield 8."

Six years later, Taylor was poised to win again for her riveting performance opposite husband Richard Burton, also nominated, for "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" However, Burton had already lost four times at the Oscars and would almost certainly lose again, so both husband and wife boycotted the ceremony in protest — though Taylor made up an excuse about Burton being afraid to fly back to the states from Paris. Taylor did win again and never issued a statement thanking the Academy.

I’m pretty sure that’s a pic of Lauren Bacall  

but Joaquin Phoenix dissed the academy saying it’s “carrot cake” or something along those lines and ended up winning one for Joker!
