In the year 1927, the design of the trophy was discussed for the first time in the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences meeting. During this time, many artists of Los Angeles were asked to put their designs in front. Among the beautiful idols of all, the sculptor of the sculptor George Stanley was liked, and such a world got his Oscar Trophy.
According to reports, the trophy that is given in the Oscar Award says that its inspiration was Mexican filmmaker and actor Emilio Fernandez. In such a situation, it is believed that there is Fernandez behind this idol and this is his picture, which was given by Stanley as the idol. Born on 1904 in Koahuelia, Mexico, Emilio grew up in the revolution of Mexico. High school drop out Fernandez became an officer of Huritista rebels. He was also sentenced, but he fled from there. After this, Fernandez started doing extra work in Hollywood. Here he was named ‘El Indio’ by Silent film star Dolores del Rio.
And that iconic poses…
He became a good friend of actress Rio. Rio was the Art Director of ‘Metro Goldwin Mayor Studio’ and the wife of Cadric Gibbons, a member of ‘Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences’. Dale Rio introduced Fernandez to Gibbons who was working on the design of the statue at that time. Gibbons asked Fernandez to pose for a sketch which was the basis of the 8.5 -pound trophy. Fernandez posted by Beman and he was an iconic pose. George Stanley prepared it and the same trophy was handed over at the first Oscar ceremony held in Los Angeles in 1929. Therefore, Fernandes is considered behind the trophy of this Oscar.
According to the Oscar rule, the Oscar winner does not have full ownership of his trophy. The winner cannot sell the trophy anywhere else. If a winner wants to sell this trophy, then first of all it will have to sell it to the academy giving this trophy. At the same time, the academy will buy this trophy for only 1 dollar. Therefore, the price of this trophy is considered one dollar. However, when it comes to the expenses of its construction, it costs a lot.
