Part 2 Passage

The Oscar Statuette

The Oscar statuette, designed by MGM's* chief art director Cedric Gibb ons, depicts* a kni ght hold ing a crusader's* sword, sta nding on a reel of film with five spokes, sig nifyi ng the orig inal bran ches of the Academy: Actors, Writers, Directors, Producers, and Tech ni cia ns.

Born in 1928, years would pass before the Academy Award of Merit was officially named "Oscar". Industry insiders and members of the press called the award "the Academy statuette", "the golden trophy" or "the statue of merit". The entertainment trade paper, Weekly Variety, eve n attempted to popularize "the iron man". The term n ever stuck.

A popular story has been that an Academy librarian and eventual executive director, Margaret Herrick, thought the statuette resembled her uncle Oscar and said so, and that as a result the Academy staff bega n referri ng to it as Oscar.

No hard evide nee exists to support that tale, but in any case, by the sixth Awards Prese ntati on in 1934, Hollywood colu mn ist Sidney Skolsky used the name in his column in reference to

Kathari ne Hepbur n's first Best Actress wi n. The Academy itself did n't use the nickn ame officially un til 1939.

Since its conception, the Oscar statuette has met exacting uniform sta ndards - with a few no table excepti ons. In the 1930s, juve nile players received min iature replicas* of the statuette; a ventriloquist* Edgar Bergen was presented with a wooden statuette with a moveable mouth; and Walt Disney was honored with one full-size and seve n mini ature statuettes on behalf of his animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Between 1942 and 1944, i n support of the war effort, Oscars were made of plaster. After the War, winners turned in the temporary awards for golde n Oscar statuettes.

The traditi onal Oscar statuette, however, has n't cha nged since the 1940s, when the base was made higher. In 1945, the base was cha nged from marble to metal and in 1949, Academy Award statuettes bega n to be nu mbered, start ing with No. 501.

Approximately 50 Oscars are made each year in Chicago by the manufacturer, R. S. Owens. If they don't meet strict quality con trol sta ndards, the statuettes are immediately cut in half and melted dow n.

Each award is in dividually packed into a Styrofoam*

container slightly larger tha n a shoebox.

Eight of these are the n packed into a larger cardboard box, and the large boxes are shipped to the Academy offices in Beverly Hills via air express, with no identifiable markings.

On March 10, 2000, 55 Academy Awards mysteriously vani shed en route from the Windy City* to the City of An gels. Nine days later, 52 of stolen statuettes were discovered next to a Dumpster* in the Koreatown section of Los Angeles by Willie Fulgear, who was later invited by the Academy to attend the Oscar 2000 cere monies as a special guest.

For eight decades, the Oscars have survived war, weathered earthquakes, and eve n man aged to escape un scathed* from com mon thieves. Si nee 1995, however, R. S. Owe ns has repaired more tha n 160 statuettes. "Maybe somebody used chemicals on them to polish them and the chemicals rubbed right through the lacquer* and into the gold," expla ins the compa ny preside nt. "Or maybe people stored them someplace where they corroded." Although he stresses that the statuette is made to en dure, Siegel offers this sage advice to all Oscar winn ers: "If it gets dusty, simply wipe it with a soft dry cloth."
