It's Oscars day! And we're celebrating by remembering Elizabeth's big win at the 1967 Oscars for Best Actress for her iconic role as Martha in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?! She did not attend the ceremony, but is pictured here with her trophy at the BAFTAs. Congratulations to all the nominees and winners of this year's Academy Awards! #ElizabethTaylor #RichardBurton #WhosAfraidOfVirginiaWoolf #Oscars | Elizabeth Taylor

It's Oscars Day and what better way to commemorate such an event than with this iconic Elizabeth moment. Despite her big win for Best Actress in 1967, Elizabeth chose not to attend out of support for her husband, Richard Burton. They both knew it was unlikely that he’d take home Best Actor for Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and opted to decline the invitation out of solidarity. Instead, she asked Anne Bancroft to accept the Oscar in her place. #WhosAfraidofVirginiaWoolf #ElizabethTaylor #Richar
