Notes
- Marlon Brando accepted the award for On the Waterfront (1954) but refused the award for The Godfather (1972).
- Counts include Bette Davis's performance in Of Human Bondage (1934) and Paul Muni's performance in Black Fury (1935) which were not properly nominated for an Oscar. For two years only, the Academy allowed a write-in vote[5][6] which meant that any performance was eligible for the award. Davis came in 3rd place at the 7th ceremony in 1935, while Muni came in 2nd place at the 8th ceremony in 1936; however, the Academy does not recognize either as official nominees for those years[7][8] though both actors remain listed as nominees in the Academy's database.[9][10]
- George C. Scott refused the award for Patton (1970).
