Creation               of               the               Oscar               Statuette               From               its               creation               in               1927,               one               of               the               first               goals               of               the               Academy               of               Motion               Picture               Arts               and               Sciences               (AMPAS)               was               the               development               of               a               way               to               honor               achievements               in               the               motion               picture               industry.

The               Academy               Awards,               now               in               its               78th               year,               were               the               result               of               this               work.
               Vital               to               the               success               of               the               Awards               was               the               creation               of               trophy               that               could               be               distributed               at               the               Awards.

MGM               art               director               Cedric               Gibbons               was               assigned               the               task               of               designing               the               statuette.

The               product               of               Gibbons'               work               was               the               statuette               that               we               all               recognize               today:               a               simple,               stylized               golden               knight               standing               on               a               reel               of               film               and               gripping               a               sword.

The               award               was               actually               created               by               sculptor               George               Stanley.
               How               did               the               Oscar               Get               Its               Name?
               Although               officially               named               the               Academy               Award               of               Merit,               the               statuette               is               almost               universally               known               as               the               Oscar.

But               where               did               this               name               come               from?

A               number               of               stories               have               arisen               over               the               years.
               The               most               popular               story               about               the               name's               origin               involves               then               Academy               librarian               and               future               executive               director,               Margaret               Herrick.

The               story               goes               that               Herrick,               upon               seeing               the               statuette               sitting               on               a               table               exclaimed               "it               looks               just               like               my               Uncle               Oscar!"               The               name               stuck               and               it               has               been               called               by               that               name               ever               since.
               Another               common               story               involves               actress               and               two-time               Academy               Award               winner               Bette               Davis,               who               reportedly               named               it               after               her               ex-husband,               Harmon               Oscar               Nelson,               Jr.

Columnist               Sidney               Skolsky,               perhaps               the               first               to               use               the               name               in               print,               claimed               that               the               name               came               from               an               old               music               hall               joke,               "Will               you               have               a               cigar,               Oscar?"
               Although               we               don't               know               the               name's               true               origin,               we               do               know               that               it               quickly               gained               popularity.

In               1934               Hollywood               reporter               Sidney               Skolsky               used               the               name               in               reference               to               Katherine               Hepburn's               win               that               year.

Walt               Disney               is               also               reported               to               have               called               it               by               that               name               in               the               same               year               at               the               Awards               ceremony.

By               1939               the               Academy               itself               was               using               the               name               officially.
               Evolution               of               the               Oscar               Statuette
               In               its               78               years,               the               Oscar               has               undergone               relatively               few               changes.

Looking               at               a               statue               from               1929               and               one               today,               they               are               almost               exactly               the               same.

It               is               13               ½               inches               tall               and               weighs               8               ½               pounds.
               But               there               have               been               some               very               fundamental               changes.

At               the               very               first               Academy               Awards               ceremony               on               May               16th,               1929,               15               statuettes               were               awarded.

These               original               Oscars               were               made               of               gold-plated               solid               bronze               and               placed               upon               a               pedestal               made               of               Belgian               black               marble.
               The               solid               bronze               statuettes               did               not               last               long,               soon               replaced               with               the               metallic               allow               Britannium.

During               World               War               II               there               was               a               shortage               of               metal               in               the               United               States               and               the               Oscars               handed               out               in               these               years               were               cast               in               plaster.

After               the               end               of               the               war               and               the               end               of               the               shortage               all               of               these               awards               were               replaced               with               metal               ones.
               In               1945               two               minor               changes               were               made               to               the               pedestal:               it               was               made               slightly               higher               and               is               now               made               of               metal               instead               of               marble.

In               1949               the               statues               began               to               be               numbered,               starting               with               the               somewhat               arbitrary               number               of               501.

This               number               is               written               behind               Oscar's               heels.

As               of               2005,               2,578               statues               have               been               awarded.
