Chaplain actually won 3 Oscars. The first was in 1929 as an honorary award for helping advance the motion picture industry. Sadly the Oscar was stolen and in 1972 the Academy gave him a second Oscar to replace the stolen one. Then in 1973, he was given a third and final Oscar for the musical score he created for the film "Limelight". This final Oscar for "Best Musical Score" was the only competitive one that he won.
