Actually, Brando didn't send a Native American woman to 'accept' his award.
He completely DECLINED it, and is one of only two people in the entire history of the Academy Awards to ever do so.
(George C. Scott was the other one.)
Yet another example of lazy, sh!tty, misleading writing, SH;
you guys really need to tighten up.

SLIDESHOW: Worst Oscar Acceptance Speech?
1 of 7
James Cameron
Best Director James Cameron's "I'm the king of the world!" declaration at the 1998 Oscars has gone down as the most arrogant Oscar speech of all time, even if it was a "Titanic" quote.

-
Marlon Brando
Brando won in 1973 for perhaps the most legendary role of all time, Don Corleone in "The Godfather." But he sent this woman to accept on his behalf to protest the treatment of Native American Indians.
-
Sally Field
Field won Best Actress in 1985 for "Places in the Heart," and her "You like me!" speech has gone down as the most embarrassingly humble Oscar acceptance ever.
-
Jack Palance
Palance won Best Supporting Actor in 1992 for "City Slickers," and famously got down to do one-armed push-ups during his acceptance speech. It gets worse: Of host Billy Crystal, he said, "I crap bigger than him."
-
Angelina Jolie
Dressed like Morticia Addams, Jolie infamously said, "I'm so in love with my brother right now" when she accepted the Best Supporting Actress award for "Girl Interrupted" in 2000.
-
Adrien Brody
Brody won Best Actor for "The Pianist" in 2003, and took the opportunity to maul Halle Berry. Some people loved it, but we always wondered if Berry deserved the chance to consent.
-
Tom Hanks
Hanks is said to have accidentally "outed" his high school drama teacher when he gave his acceptance speech for "Philadelphia" in 1994.

The Oscars are this Sunday, and we're rooting for Christian Bale and Natalie Portman to walk away with golden statuettes.
But will they make total fools of themselves in their acceptance speeches, like so many actors have done before?
Portman already embarrassed herself at the Golden Globes, when a video of her dorky laugh went viral (not to mention when she dropped a--hole in her SAG acceptance speech). But could she possibly be worse than Adrien Brody, who took the occasion to maul Halle Berry? Or Marlon Brando, who sent a mysterious woman to accept on his behalf to protest the treatment of Native American Indians?

However, the creepiest I say was Angelina Jolie's speech. It is not normal for someone to say that she/he wants to make out with her/his sibling due to her winning.
The native american thing was confusing.
James cameron was appropriate since he quoted his own movie, which i thought was entertaining.
Sally field was adorable.
I hate these waste of time awards shows lol.
Cuba's was the best tho.
Tom Hanks was so grateful to his drama teacher for his influence and guidance that led to his Oscar trophy, that Hanks decided to tell the whole nation his teacher was ‘one of the finest gay Americans’. Even though his drama teacher had not told ANYONE he was gay….
Whoops.
