Oscar’s Greatest Moments

1972 After a self-imposed 20-year exile, Charles Chaplin returns to Hollywood to accept an honorary Academy Award — as well as a little tramp hat and cane — from presenter Jack Lemmon. When the star takes the stage, the crowd of dignitaries raises the roof, giving the legendary Chaplin one of the longest standing ovations in Oscar history 12 minutes in all.


These are screen captures of the appearance of Charlie Chaplin at the 44th Academy Awards in April of 1972,  Came to accept his Honorary Academy Award. Though pictures are grainy you can see how overwhelmed and near tears he is by his reception, at the end of the night he called Oona onto the stage to be with him, so sweet.

Probably the only Oscar moment I care about, although I’m hoping The Artist takes home all the awards tonight.
