		Ironically, Chaplin's rival Harold Lloyd delivered a stronger and more popular film in Speedy (which was nominated for Best Comedy Direction, losing to Two Arabian Knights), but since he eschewed the Tramp's heartbreakingly sentimental dramatic edges in favor of straightforward comedy, he wasn't placed on the same artistic level by the Academy.
		Of course, when Chaplin did receive his lifetime achievement Oscar in 1972, his appearance was hailed as one of the most memorable and emotional in the history of the Academy Awards.
		In the only year of Oscar history devoted exclusively to silent films (with the exception of a special award to The Jazz Singer), the Academy nominated two of the greatest actors of that era in the Best Actor category.
