According to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the origins of the name are uncertain, but "a popular story has been that an Academy librarian and eventual executive director, Margaret Herrick, thought it resembled her Uncle Oscar and said so; and that the Academy staff began referring to it as Oscar." The name was used in a column by Sidney Skolsky in 1934, and officially used by the Academy itself starting in 1939.

How did Ted get on today at the hospital C/B??
Hello, we've missed you.
The surgery went well. Obviously his eye hurts and it's very sensitive to light, but he's already seeing better. Thank you for remembering and asking about him Dennis. We both hope all is well with you too.
