Question - 294

What is happening? Identify all the people.

Answer: This is Sachen Littlefeather declining the Academy award for Best Actor given to Marlon Brando for Godfather in 1972. Brando wanted to attract attention to the discrimination of Native Indians in Hollywood and mainstream media. The two confounded people are Roger Moore and Liv Ullman. Watch the video here. Mekie, Hari, Raghu, Rajesh K, Vetti, raklodramA, nice try, Mihir, Hirak, Iam, Shyaps and Rajesh got it. Well done.

Marlon Brando's refusal for accepting the oscars for the god father. An Apache was sent to refuse the offer and for spotlighting the misrepresentation of native americans in Hollywood movies.

"Brando protested the on/off-screen treatment of Native Americans (through alleged American Indian spokeswoman and half native-American Sacheen Littlefeather, president of the Native American Affirmative Image Committee) and declined the award."
