9 Curious Facts About Charlie Chaplin

#9. He won one Oscar award for the movie ” Limelight ” in the best music category

Chaplin won an honorary Academy Award (“Oscar”) in 1929, during the first presentation of awards. Originally nominated in a couple of categories, his name was withdrawn and he was presented instead with a special award. He also received an honorary award in 1972. The next year, however, he won a Best Music Oscar for Limelight, a film he had made 21 years earlier, yet had not been shown in Los Angeles until 1972, thus enabling his nomination and subsequent award.
