Sean Penn received a nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting Role at The Oscars, but he did not show up to the ceremony on Sunday, March 15. His decision to skip the event did not come as much of a surprise, as Penn previously did not attend the Actor Awards and BAFTA Awards, despite winning for Best Actor in a Supporting Role at both telecasts.

The actor has always had a complicated relationship with awards shows and Hollywood in general. In fact, in 20223 he told Variety that he considered melting down the two Oscars he had previously won to provide Ukraine with ammunition in its war against Russia.
