The Academy Awards, since 1928, have been issued by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science for excellence in film making.
The statuettes were nicknamed "Oscar" in 1931 by Margaret Herrick, a secretary at the academy who, upon seeing one for the first time, exclaimed, "Why it looks just like my uncle Oscar?"
Her uncle was Oscar Pierce, a wheat farmer.
