There are different opinions about the origin of the name "Oscar": Statement 1: 193 1 Margaret Herridge, a female librarian of Academy of Motion Picture AMPAS and Sciences Library, exclaimed after carefully studying the gold award: "Ah! He really looks like my uncle Oscar! " The reporter next door wrote: "The staff of the College of Arts and Sciences affectionately called their golden statue' Oscar'. Since then, this alias has spread like wildfire. Statement 2: The famous actress bette davis complained that she was the first person to name Oscar. She said that when she won the Academy Award for the first time, she accidentally called her husband, Haimen Oscar Nelson's name "Oscar", which was heard by reporters on the spot, so it spread all at once. Statement 3: At the end of the 6th Awards Ceremony, Skolsky, a Hollywood columnist, forgot the spelling of the figurine when writing a report on a typewriter. He suddenly remembered a scene from a musical he had seen in the past. It was a group of comedians who came to the orchestra pit and jokingly said to the conductor, "Oscar, do you want a cigarette?" The conductor reached for it, but the comedians avoided handing out cigarettes. This caused great laughter. Scholsky believes that the Academy Award is a symbol of desire and should be a cartoon. So he wrote in his report: "katharine hepburn won the Oscar for her role of Ava in Amazing Genius. "Comprehensive analysis, the first statement above is more credible. Because bette davis won the Best Actress Award for the first time in 1935, when the nickname Oscar was already a household name. As for Shoals's view that The Golden Statue should be a cartoon, this view may not be accepted by the majority of filmmakers. [Edit this paragraph] The history of the Oscar Awards Ceremony The first Oscar Awards Ceremony was held at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood on Thursday, May 1929 to commemorate the great film achievements made between 1927 and 1928.

From 196 1 to the following years, the venue of the award was moved from Los Angeles to the Santa Monica Municipal Auditorium in Santa Monica, California. Until 1969, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences once again decided to move the venue of the award ceremony back to Los Angeles, this time at the Los Angeles Music Center, where the next 19 award ceremony was held continuously. Until 1988, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences decided to change the venue of the award ceremony between the Music Center and the Temple Auditorium. The Academy Awards are held as scheduled every year, and only three times in history have they been postponed due to special reasons: the first time was in 1938, when the flood in Los Angeles delayed the award ceremony by one week; The second time was in 1968. At that time, the schedule of the Oscar award clashed with the funeral of Martin Luther King, a famous human rights activist, so the award ceremony was postponed. The last time was in 198 1, and the award ceremony was postponed for 24 hours because someone tried to assassinate the then US President Ronald Reagan. The first award ceremony was actually held at a private party in Hollywood, with an audience of less than 250.
