London-born comic actor twice awarded honorary Academy awards (7)

I believe the answer is:

chaplin

(Other definitions for chaplin that I've seen before include "Charlie --, film comic" , "Charles, early film actor and director" , "Silent film comedian" , "Charlie ......., popular tramp of silent screen" , "Charlie ---, film comedian" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
