From the IMDB:
O'Toole Rejects Oscar; Academy Says He Earned It
After receiving a letter from Peter O'Toole appearing to reject an honorary Oscar that the motion picture academy had planned to present to him this year, the academy's board of directors has sent a note to the actor saying, "The board unanimously and enthusiastically voted you the honorary award because you've earned and deserved it." In a handwritten note, O'Toole said that he was "still in the game and might win the lovely bugger outright."
------
I think this is right up there with Hitchcock's "Thank you." speech.
