Academy apologizes to Sacheen Littlefeather 50 years after she was booed declining Marlon Brando's Oscar

It took nearly half a century, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is seeking to make things right with Sacheen Littlefeather.

In one of the most famous moments in Oscars history — right up there with Jack Palance’s one-armed push-ups, Envelopegate, and now, unfortunately, “The Slap” — the Native American civil rights activist took to the stage on behalf of Marlon Brando in 1973, politely refusing to accept his Best Actor award for his work in The Godfather (1972).
