      <description><![CDATA[1954 saw one of the most controversial filmmakers of all time walk away with his second Oscar for Best Director: Elia Kazan. He undoubtedly changed cinema forever, but his actions in front of HUAC tarnished his reputation so much that when he received his Honorary Award decades later only half of the audience applauded him.
