It is inherent in the nature of theAcademy Awardsto celebrate the masters of the craft of cinema, and none were more important than the12-minute standing ovation given in 1972 to one of the medium’s most important figures,Sir Charlie Chaplin. Ostracized for twenty years due to suspicions brought upon by McCarthyism, Chaplin settled in Switzerland and chose to privately disconnect from the United States of America. That is until he was welcomed back with open arms at the 44th Oscars to receive a lifetime achievement award for his contributions to film....
