George Bernard Shaw 

For all his iconic works, it's easy to forget that George Bernard Shaw has a little golden fella to his name. The renowned playwright, who adapted his own play for the 1938 film Pygmalion, refused to accept his award in person in 1939, dismissing the Oscars as 'nonsense’. Legend has it he used the statuette as a door stop.
