96 years old history

The history of Oscar is 96 years old. The first Academy Awards was held in the year 1929. The winner selection process at Oscars is very interesting. Earlier the jury used to decide the name of the winner and the name of the winner was kept in a briefcase.

The thinking of Lewis B. Mayer

In 1927, Louis B. Mayer, owner of America’s MGM studio, first thought of it. It came to his mind that why not form a group in which the entire film industry could benefit. He discussed with director Fred Niblo, film maker Fred Bitson and actor Conrad Nagel etc. Everyone liked this idea. Later, the ‘Academy Awards’ format was prepared by brainstorming with 36 prominent people of Hollywood in a hotel. In March, 1927, Hollywood actor and producer Douglas Fairbanks was made president of the Academy Awards.

This is how the trophy was finalized

After this it was decided what would be given to the recipient of the honour. There was a long debate on this. Only then was it decided that a trophy should be given. This trophy was designed in different ways. A design was finalized, in which it was decided that a warrior would be standing with a sword in his hand. The responsibility of creating this statue went to MGM Studio’s art director Kedric Gibbons. The Oscar trophy was made 13 inches tall and weighed 8.85 kilograms. It was made of 92.5 percent tin, 7.5 percent copper and finally coated with gold. At that time, the cost of making an Oscar trophy was 400 dollars i.e. approximately 33 thousand 77 rupees.

Memorable date… May 16, 1929

The first Academy Awards were held on May 16, 1929. About 270 Hollywood celebrities participated in it. All these celebs were invited to come to the Blossom Room of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. The first Oscar event took place here. There was no audience in it. This incident was over in just 15 minutes. This event was paid. One ticket was sold for five dollars.

first winner

It is said that the first Oscar was won by German actor Emil Jannings, although he is not considered the first contender for the award. This award was for a dog of German Shepherd breed, whose name was said to be Tin Tin. This dog was rescued in France during the First World War. Later that dog worked in about 27 Hollywood films. This dog also did excellent work in two of these films. Therefore, the awards committee considered him deserving of the first Oscar, but Fairbanks, the first president of the Academy Awards, thought that if the first award was given to a dog, a wrong message could be sent to the society. Therefore, the committee held a vote on that dog and German actor Emil Jennings. In this, Emil got the most votes and became the first Oscar winner.

The method of announcing winners kept changing

The second Oscar Award was organized in the year 1930. It was broadcast on radio for the first time. The Oscar Awards were shown on TV for the first time in the year 1953. Now this award ceremony is shown live in about 200 countries. In the year 1939, the Academy Award was renamed Oscar. Interestingly, the reason for doing this has not been revealed till date. In the year 1929, the names of the winners were sent to him three months in advance. In the second event, it was decided that the names of the winners would be released to the media at around 11 pm on the night of the awards ceremony and this sequence continued till the year 1941. Since 1942, the names of the winners are taken out from the list of nominations in closed envelopes. This has been the trend since then.
