I was not all that surprised at the reaction of the audience to the photo of Charlton Heston. A good number of Academy members are likely to be anti-NRA, and Heston was very prominent in his position as the head of NRA prior to his death from Alzheimer's. Of course, this should not foreshadow his accomplishments as a consummate actor.
I always remember,though, the comments of many of his fellow actors, including Jimmy Cagney among others , that Heston had an inordinately high opinion of himself and failed to acknowledge a lot of his peers on the set, making him seem distant.
