The Oscar Statuette
Are you ready for the Oscars tonight? I was curious on the history of the statue so of course what do you do, Google it! Some fun facts; stands 13 ½ inches tall and weighs
8 ½ pounds; was designed by Cedric Gibbons of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and sculpted by artist George Stanley; and features a knight holding a crusader’s sword, standing on a reel of film. If you would like to learn more you can visit the Oscar website to read about the history, like how it got its name. They even have some recipes for an Oscar’s party I may have to get busy and try some!
