Ladies and gentlemen: meet Mr. Oscar! <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The original design of \u201cOscar\u201d was by MGM art director Cedric Gibbons. He came up with a statuette of a knight standing on a reel of film gripping a crusader\u2019s sword. The Academy commissioned the Los Angeles sculptor George Stanley to create the design in three dimensions, based on actor Emilio Fernandez.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Since the first Academy Awards, held on 16 May, 1929, 2947 statuettes have been presented. It was presented for the first time at the banquet to Emil Jannings, named Best Actor for his performances in \u201cThe Last Command\u201d and \u201cThe Way of All Flesh\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The statue stands 35 centimetres tall, and weighs in at a robust 3,85 kilograms.<\/p>\n<p>The statuettes are cast, moulded, polished and buffed by R.S. Owens &amp; Company, the Chicago-based awards manufacturer retained by the Academy since 1982. It takes three to four weeks to create 50 Oscars.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Officially named the Academy Award of Merit, the statuette is better known by its nickname, Oscar. A popular story has it that upon seeing the trophy for the first time, Academy librarian Margaret Herrick remarked that it resembled her Uncle Oscar. The Academy didn\u2019t adopt the nickname officially until 1939.<\/p>\n<p>The film reel upon which the figure stands on features five spokes, signifying the five original branches of the Academy: actors, directors, producers, technicians and writers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 89th annual Academy Awards will be held on 26th February \u2013 and on the occasion of
