The Oscars are the most celebrated awards show in Hollywood.

But plenty of actors have rejected their awards or refused to attend the ceremony throughout its 92-year history.

The Oscars are the most celebrated awards show in Hollywood and a star-studded night to celebrate film. The Oscars, voted on by over 9,000 members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, have driven the conversation around the movie industry for nine decades.

But that doesn't mean that everyone wants to go, or even be in the running to win one.

In the 92-year history of the ceremony, some of Hollywood's finest — from Marlon Brando to Will Smith — haven't been there to accept their awards or nominations, and some of those nominated have refused to attend out of protest.

As the 92nd Oscars looms, Business Insider has rounded up 15 actors and creators who didn't accept the Oscars they won, and others who did not to attend but were nominated. Will more be added to the list this year?

The Oscars air February 9 at 8 p.m. on ABC.
