The origin of Oscar awards

When it comes to the Oscar, we can't help mentioning Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Established in 1927, this organization is committed to promoting the development of thin film manufacturing to a higher level, higher quality and higher technology. In recognition of outstanding talents who have made outstanding contributions in these fields, the Academy Awards, representing the highest honor in the film industry, will be awarded.

To this end, we must first create a trophy that can symbolize the achievements of the film. At that time, Cedric, the artistic director of MGM (MGM Film Company)? Cedric Gibbons was responsible for designing this now famous figurine-a knight standing on the film with a sword in his hand! What about the sculptor George from Los Angeles? George Stanley was fortunate to be the producer of this figurine.

The first award ceremony of the association was held at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood on May 20.

This figurine, which is 13.5 inches high (10.25 inches early) and weighs 1 1 pound (6.75 pounds early), was originally made of bronze. During World War II, due to the lack of resources, it was made of gypsum. Today, the figurines we see are made of tin and ammonium alloys. They are polished and painted with 65.

Originally, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences called the official name of this award the Academy Awards, but in fact, the world is more aware of another name of this award-Oscar. Why is the Oscar Award called the Oscar Award? So far, there is no accurate statement.

A popular saying is: a person named Margaret? Margaret Herrick, the librarian and executive director, thinks this figurine is very similar to her uncle Oscar, so she calls it Oscar. After that, people in society began to use Oscar as the nickname of the figurine.

1934 After the Sixth Awards Conference, Hollywood columnist Sidney? Skolsky wrote in an article about Catherine? For the first time, katharine hepburn publicly used the title of Oscar in an article that won the Best Actress Award.

1939, the academy also recognized the name Oscar and began to officially use it. Since then, the name Oscar has continued to this day.

So what we usually call Oscar now is actually another habit of the Academy Awards, which symbolizes the highest honor of the film industry.
