Interesting fact:

The name 'Oscar' was given to the Academy Award statuette by a woman named Margaret Herrick. Herrick was the Academy librarian. Upon first seeing the statuettes, in 1931, she remarked "Why it looks like my Uncle Oscar!" Famed columnist Sidney Skolsky claims to have been there when she stated this and later wrote in an Article that “Employees have affectionately dubbed their famous statuette ‘Oscar’”, making the name official.
