It wasn't a competitive award. On March 21, 1999, the Academy presented an honorary Oscar to the 89-year-old Kazan, whose film credits included "Gentleman's Agreement," "A Streetcar Named Desire," "On the Waterfront," "East of Eden," "A Face in the Crowd" and "Splendor in the Grass." The award was unpopular with many people in the motion picture industry because of Kazan's decision to testify in 1952 before the House Un-American Activities Committee investigating Communist influences in Hollywood. Many of the people outed by Kazan were blacklisted for years. At the Oscars ceremony, many in the audience rose to their feet and applauded Kazan, while numerous others protested by remaining still in their seats.
