Despite the great popularity held by a party Oscars, However, few followers know why a name was chosen "Oscar" For the most prestigious award.
According to the site "CNN", The The little golden statue, Which is called the Oscar, and is given to award winners during The concert, Was not named after a known person or a history in cinema.
The award-winning Film Academy says that Margaret Herrick, who worked as the director of the Academy’s library, was like a statue of a golden man with her uncle Oscar, in the early years of the award, traded the informal name and stuck to the award until it became called "Oscar" Officially in the eleventh edition, in 1939.
It is considered the real name of an award "Oscar", he is "Academy Award for Merit", Which is a non-current and less attractive name than the Oscars.
Cheap Oscars

The Academy granted Oscar awards made of plaster and dyed in gold during this period, but it allowed the winners its time to exchange "Plaster statues" With the golden statues later, after the war ended.
Brief words
The Academy allows award winners for a period of only 45 seconds, to deliver a speech about winning, upon receiving the Oscars, in order to shorten the ceremony time, which usually lasts for more than 3 hours.
The academy orchestra plays a piece when the winner’s specified time ends, in an indication to urge him to get off the stage and complete the other concert passages.
Donald Duck
Another irony is the choice of the famous cartoon character, the duck "Donald Duck", To present the Oscars in 1958.
The academy used special techniques to show Donald Duck as the presenter, along with other real actors, who shared it "Extraordinary party".
Accounting firm
