Oh yeahs As I understand it, Mayer had just bought some breach front property and instead of hiring carpenters and contractors he was going to use the guys that make the sets at his production company. Turns out though they had just unionised and that would mean he would still have to pay them for the outside work. He then started to hear rumblings that the actors, writers, and others in the film industry were considering unionizing so he created the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences to "mediate" disputes without unions.
Robert Osbourne specifically mentions this fact in a well-known Oscar documentary ("And the Oscar Goes to...", which, incidentally, was the source of some of the clips in this video), and it was one of the best parts.
Morley I believe it was the 1946 ceremony for films released in ‘45. I actually prefer the original flat base. They also for the first 7 years gave half the categories, including the supporting actor/actress awards, a plaque instead of an Oscar. They still use the plaque at the Sci-Tech awards I think!
The Academy Awards inspires me to be the first ever Israeli US immigrant citizen with Autism from Jerusalem Israel to win a Oscar Academy Award this April. I will be 27 years old this May in Jerusalem Israel and I work at Mobileye Intel in Jerusalem Israel
2022 the FACT and TRUTH was Disclosed Again, the Oscar statue was modeled after a Mexican actor in the 1920s . This is a FACT, oscar statue is Mexican.
not 1 mention of Oscar Micheaux,,, hmmm
I like how they avoided talking about how the Academy was formed to curtail Hollywood movie unions.

Oscar is an Irish Gaelic name. In Irish mythology Oscar was the son of Oisin the poet. Oscar literally means "Champion" or best.
Ok, my only question is, the old oscar statuette has a flat base, but in what year did the new statuette or with the higher base came out?

Why aren't the names engraved on the statues prior to the show?
May be they were being careful of winner names being leaked
