The Moment of History on Instagram: "At the 1972 Academy Awards, Charlie Chaplin received an honorary Oscar—and the longest standing ovation in Oscar history. For 12 unforgettable minutes, the audience applauded his return to the U.S. after more than 20 years in exile. As Chaplin stepped onto the stage, the entire room rose to honor not just his brilliance, but his long-awaited homecoming. A powerful, emotional tribute to a true icon of cinema."
