How many awards did Charlie Chaplin win?

Charlie Chaplin won one Academy Award:

* Honorary Award in 1972, for his "incalculable effect in making motion pictures the art form of this century."

It is important to note that Chaplin was nominated for five other Oscars, but never won in those categories:

* Best Actor for *The Great Dictator* (1941)

* Best Original Screenplay for *The Great Dictator* (1941)

* Best Original Screenplay for *Limelight* (1953)

* Best Original Score for *Limelight* (1953)

* Best Original Song for "There's Always a Woman" from *Limelight* (1953)

While he only won one Oscar, his legacy is much larger and more impactful than just the number of awards he won.
