The Oscars is known as "Hollywood's Biggest Night," but not every Academy Award winner has graciously accepted their golden trophy. Many actors have spoken openly about their ambivalence toward awards season, even though most still show up at the Oscars when they receive an all-important nomination. Even Joaquin Phoenix - who once called his awards campaign for Walk the Line "one of the most uncomfortable periods of my life" - made peace with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and accepted his Best Actor Award for Joker in person in 2020.
