His Hollywood connections didn't hurt either \u2014 Jack Nicholson called him an A-list worker, while Leonardo DiCaprio refused to answer our phone calls.\nOscar's choice in work attire \u2014 or lack of work attire \u2014 quickly landed him in the HR office, which might be why his attitude has become more Lindsay Lohan and less Jennifer Lawrence. \n*But seriously, this is a real deal Academy Award statute.

What is Oscar standing on? \nEach Oscar statuette stands on a film reel, which has five spokes representing the original branches of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences: actors, directors, producers, technicians and writers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. What is in its hands?\nThe statuette is a knight grasping a crusader's sword. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Are they all the same? \nNo. The academy has awarded nearly 3,000 Oscar statuettes since 1929, but they all have different numbers emblazoned on them. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Why so naked? \nOriginal academy member Cedric Gibbons designed the statuette. He had director, screenwriter and actor Emilio Fernandez pose nude to inspire the Oscar design.

Back then, it was only referred to as the academy Award of Merit. Now, it primarily goes by its nickname: Oscar.  The academy officially adopted the nickname in 1939. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Who makes them? \nR. S. Owens and Company manufatures the statuettes in Chicago. The academy says it takes three to four weeks to create 50 Oscars.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. What are they made of?\nOriginal statuettes were gold-plated solid bronze, but now gold-plated britannia metal has replaced the bronze.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. What else has changed?\nThe base size changed several times from 1929 to 1945. The base size has remained unchanged since 1945.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9. Who won the first statuette?\nThe academy handed the first statuette in 1929 to Emil Jannings, who won Best Actor for The Last Command and The Way of All Flesh.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10. Is it heavy? \nThe 13-and-half-inch Oscar is heavier than it appears, weighing 8.5 pounds.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
