The Oscars are not named after a person

Origin of the name. Claim one.

There are different theories about the origin of the name, but the more credible thing is that Margaret Herrich, the female administrator of the library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1931, exclaimed, "Ah! He really looks like my uncle Oscar!

The reporter next door wrote: "The staff of the Academy of Arts and Sciences affectionately call their golden statues "Oscars." Since then, this alias has spread far and wide.

Claim two. The famous actor Betty Tyves pleaded that she was the first to name the Oscar. She said that when she received the Academy Awards for the first time, she inadvertently called her husband Hemon Oscar Nelson's name "Oscar", which was heard by reporters interviewing the scene, so it spread all of a sudden.

Claim three. Hollywood columnist Skorsky was writing a story on his typewriter on the night of the sixth awards ceremony when he forgot the spelling of the statuette and suddenly remembered a scene from a musical and dance show he had seen in the past. It was a group of comedians who walked up to the orchestra pit and jokingly said to the conductor

Oscar, do you want cigarettes? The conductor stretched out his hand to take it, but the comedians avoided it without giving them cigarettes. This caused a burst of laughter.

Skoltsky believed that the trophy symbolized desire and should be comic. So he wrote in the report: "Katharine Hepburn won an Oscar for the role of Ava in "Amazing".

According to various analyses, the first statement above is more credible. Because Betty Tyvess won the Best Actress award for the first time in 1935, and the Oscar alias was already a household name at that time. As for Skoltsky's belief that the Academy Trophies should be comic, such a view may not be accepted by the majority of people in the film industry.

For several years in a row, there has been a question on Weibo that everyone is extremely concerned about: When will "Little Plum" Leonardo win the Oscar? As a result, just this year, Xiao Lizi got what he wanted, and successfully got the little golden man, and the whole Weibo cheered for him.

So, what is the origin of the name of the Oscars?

The Academy Awards include a variety of film genres and more than 20 different awards, making it the oldest and most influential award in the world. According to statistics, the awards ceremony is broadcast live on TV in more than 100 countries every year, which shows that the scale is indeed huge.

So, when did the Academy Awards start being awarded? This is the time to bring the end of the Great War. At that time, it had been ten years since the end of the First World War, and Europe, which had been devastated by the war, was still under construction, and the film industry was naturally at a low ebb.

At this time, American cinema seized the opportunity and opened the first ** era of Hollywood.

Make them the backbone of Hollywood, let them mediate disputes, or play a facilitation role in the studio. Meyer did what he thought of, and a week later he drafted a proposal for the establishment of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, appointed the popular movie star Douglas Van Punk as chairman, and held the first award ceremony in Hollywood on May 16, 1929. There were about 270 people in attendance, and the first Academy Award was awarded to Emile Jaelins.

Since then, the Academy Awards have been awarded annually and without stopping. All films that were staged from January 1 to December 31 of the previous year can participate in the selection of the current Academy Awards. The selection method is as follows:

Nomination one by one (after watching the movie) vote - nominate again - vote again, and finally decide whether to win the award based on the number of votes.

The name "Oscar" is due to the trophy of the Academy Awards. As we all know, the Academy Award trophy is a gold-plated male statue that is inches tall and weighs kilograms, designed by the American sculptor George Stanley. In 1931, a staff member at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, after seeing the trophy, exclaimed that the little golden man was especially like his uncle Oscar!

As a result, the name "Oscar" has been around ever since.
