The question "Who walked out of the Oscars?" is a bit ambiguous. There are a few possible interpretations:
1. Who left the ceremony early?
Many people have left the Oscars ceremony early over the years for various reasons. Some notable examples include:
- Marlon Brando famously sent Sacheen Littlefeather to accept his Best Actor award for The Godfather in 1973, protesting the film industry's portrayal of Native Americans.
- Robert Downey Jr. left the ceremony early in 1997, after being arrested for drug possession just hours before.
- Kanye West famously interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for Best Female Video at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, not the Oscars, but it's a relevant example of a high-profile celebrity leaving a ceremony early.
2. Who left the ceremony in protest?
While many have left the ceremony early, some have done so specifically to express their disapproval of something. This is often referred to as "walking out" in protest.
- The cast and crew of The Fabelmans walked out of the 2023 Oscars ceremony in protest of the lack of diversity in the nominations.
3. Who left the ceremony due to an incident or personal reason?
Sometimes, people leave the Oscars ceremony due to an unexpected incident or a personal reason.
- Will Smith famously walked out of the 2022 Oscars ceremony after slapping Chris Rock on stage.
It's important to remember that "walking out" is a broad term, and the reasons behind it can vary significantly.
