Part 2 Passage

The Oscar Statuette

1 Industry insiders and members of the press called the award"the Academy statuette","the golden trophy"or"the statue of merit",but the term never stuck.

2.No hard evidence exists to support that tale,but in any case,by the sixth AwardsPresentation in 1934,a Hollywood columnist used the name in his column.

3.Walt Disney was honored with one full-size and seven miniature statuettes on behalf of hisanimated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

4. If the statuettes don't meet strict quality control standards,they are immediately cut inhalf and melted down.

5.The large boxes are shipped to the Academy offices via air express,with no identifiablemarkings.

The Oscar statuette, designed by MGM's* chief art director Cedric Gibbons,depicts a knight holding a crusader's*sword, standing on a reel of film with fivespokes, signifying the original branches of the Academy:Actors,Writers,Directors,Producers,and Technicians.

Born in 1928, years would pass before the Academy Award of Merit wasofficially named"Oscar". Industry insiders and members of the press called theaward"the Academy statuette", "the golden trophy" or "the statue of merit".The entertainment trade paper,Weekly Variety, even attempted to popularize"the iron man".The term never stuck.

A popular story has been that an Academy librarian and eventual executivedirector,Margaret Herrick, thought the statuette resembled her uncle Oscar andsaid so,and that as a result the Academy staff began referring to it as Oscar.

No hard evidence exists to support that tale,but in any case,by the sixth AwardsPresentation in 1934,Hollywood columnist Sidney Skolsky used the name in his column inreference to Katharine Hepburn's first Best Actress win.The Academy itself didn't use thenickname officially until 1939.

Since its conception, the Oscar statuette has met exacting uniform standards -with a fewnotable exceptions. In the 1930s, juvenile players received miniature replicas* of thestatuette; a ventriloquist*Edgar Bergen was presented with a wooden statuette with amoveable mouth; and Walt Disney was honored with one full-size and seven miniaturestatuettes on behalf of his animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.Between1942 and 1944, in support of the war effort,Oscars were made of plaster.After the War,winners turned in the temporary awards for golden Oscar statuettes.

The traditional Oscar statuette,however,hasn't changed since the 1940s,when the basewas made higher.In 1945,the base was changed from marble to metal and in 1949,AcademyAward statuettes began to be numbered,starting 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 control standards, the statuettes are immediately cutin half and melted down.

Each award is individually packed into a Styrofoam container slightly largerthan a shoebox.

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

On March 10, 2000, 55 Academy Awards mysteriously vanished en route from theWindy City* to the City of Angels.Nine days later, 52 of stolen statuettes were discoverednext to a Dumpster* in the Koreatown section of Los Angeles by Willie Fulgear,who waslater invited by the Academy to attend the Oscar 2000 ceremonies as a special guest.

For eight decades, the Oscars have survived war,weathered earthquakes, and evenmanaged to escape unscathed*from common thieves.Since 1995,however,R.S.Owens hasrepaired more than 160 statuettes. "Maybe somebody used chemicals on them to polish themand the chemicals rubbed right through the lacquer* and into the gold," explains thecompany president. "Or maybe people stored them someplace where they corroded."Although he stresses that the statuette is made to endure,Siegel offers this sage advice to allOscar winners: "If it gets dusty,simply wipe it with a soft dry cloth."
