Academy Awards Maybe not always possesses the best performance to mark the best films of any year, But there is no doubt that winning an Oscar is a big deal. It is essentially canonization in the annals of the history of the film that provides insight into the cultural sphere at the time. But while the tastes certainly changed from the inaugural banquet at the 1929 ceremony, most awards received the same golden statue that everyone was familiar with.

The Oscar, weighing 8kg and is 13 inches high, was heavily adhering to the design of the knight that carries the match. According to AcademyThe gilded bronze bastion of Chinese excellence settles at the top of the film, with each spoken by the five original branches of the institution. Its form is the result of MGM's artistic director, Cedric Gibbons and sculptor La George Stanley. The simplicity of the award only coincides with its iconographic symbol and there seems to be no reason to change.

More than a century, an Oscar is a benchmark for industry success - Even if it does not always lead to more opportunities. Many have won their own Hollywood guard's knight, with some winning a few times. But no one coincided the record currently set by Walt Disney.

After being nominated 59 times, Disney took 26 statues at the end, and most of them are for his animated shorts. 22 of these Oscars came from victories in competitive categories, while four of them were honorary recognition. Among them is one of the most interesting variations of the traditional gold statue that the Academy has ever imagined.

At the 11th Academy Awards, the Children's Starwar Shirli presented the temple to Disney with an honorary Oscar Marking "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". The first full-length animated film film on behalf of the main studio was nominated the previous year for the best music (achievement). But the critical and success in the box office was so noticeable that the Academy had a special made by a traditional Oscar with seven miniature attached to the ladder - each represents the seven dwarfs.

I feel it is worth noting that Disney is ridiculously responding to the unique part of the crafts with everyday "I'm very proud, I think I'll bust."

All jokes aside, it's a pretty cool memory of film history that celebrates an important milestone in the area of ​​feature animation. According to Family Museum Walt DisneyThe idea of ​​the director "It is a wonderful life" (and then president of the Academy) Frank Capra was allegedly. There was another Oscar variant, awarded the previous year to the ventricist Edward Bergen in the form of a wooden statue. Like his glorious doll creation, Charlie McCarthy, he can move his mouth.

There is also the subject of the semi-size of the Academy of Juvenile, which was Presented to young actors under 18 as a kind of comfort for comfort to be in a disadvantage of adult nominees. Yudi Garland ("Wizard of Oz"), Mickey Rooney ("Babies in Weapons") and Haley Mills ("Poljana") were among the special group of recipients until the 1961 category closing.

As for Disney's mini Oscars, it would not be the last time the animation pioneer returns home with them.

It turns out that when you win the Academy Award, you not only get the traditional Oscar size, but you can ask for a 1-inch charm with engraving at the bottom (through D23). Looking at Disney, he won numerous victories under the belt, he had the idea to shape 20 attraction in a necklace for his wife Lilian. The artist with ink eventually decided that she would rather be a bracelet.

"If I have just received the Industry Award for Life, I bet I get a mini Oscar of 18 carat to wear my key. But the bracelet sounds nice. "

It is an incredibly sweet gesture, among others, the woman who eventually helped Disney bridged the name "Mickey Mouse". Both the Snow White Stair Bracelet and the award are currently housed in the Walt Disney family museum in San Francisco.

"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" are currently moving to Disney+.
