Oscar
1929 - 2024
The Oscar is considered the main film award in the United States. The Academy consists of just over 6,000 people. Two years after the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts was established in 1927, the Baltimore Hotel hosted a dinner to discuss ways to encourage outstanding film achievement. As a result, sculptor George Stanley was chosen to create the statuette, and a knight was born, standing on a jar with film and holding a sword in his hand. The Oscar statuette was designed by Cedric Gibbons.
