This icon was quickly recognized as a legend in the Academy's early history.
The Big Picture The Academy Awards are intended to honor and celebrate the highest achievements of artistic merit. While the awards body is a competition by nature, as one winner is declared among a pool of nominees, the Oscars are meant to collectively commemorate art rather than pit it against each other as competitors. At the ceremony, the annual Honorary Oscar satisfies this sentiment.
The First Academy Awards Recognizes Charlie Chaplin's Cinematic Genius Previously named the Special Award, the first Honorary Oscar coincided with the first Academy Awards in 1929. Back then, the ceremony, hosted by Douglas Fairbanks, was a highly exclusive event with no public broadcast on television or radio. The big winners that night were 7th Heaven, Sunrise, and Wings, which stands alone in history as the first winner of Best Picture.
Initially, The Circus was nominated for three Oscars: Best Actor, Best Writer, and Best Comedy Director, all for Chaplin. However, the Academy stripped him of these recognitions and chose to award his craft through a prestigious Special Award. The Academy specifically indicated that the honor is "for versatility and genius in acting, writing, directing and producing The Circus.
