On April 16, 1972, in Los Angeles, California, Charlie Chaplin received a special honorary Academy Award. I have not seen a full version of this event since I saw it live in 1972, but this link is to an edited version of that evening. Link>
It was Academy President, Daniel Taradash who appears in this video introducing Charles Chaplin. If you watched the movie 'Chaplin', there is a line where Robert Downey Jr. says something like, 'Taradash', sounds like a spice. Daniel's clip is part of that film.
(And followers of Robert Downey Jr. should know his next film 'Iron Man' opens soon. Thanks for the question.)

Thanks for the question and for visiting. I placed the answer in the main text.
