Bosco685 Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 Interesting article about how the Academy Awards came to be known as the Oscars. And all the people that claimed it was their influence. Why Are The Academy Awards Called The Oscars? Quote Why Oscar, though? Well, Davis refutes the popular theory that Lilleberg was of Norwegian descent and so used the name as a reference to the former Norwegian King, Oscar II. Indeed, it seems odd that Lilleberg would have made that association given the physical differences between Oscar II and the design of the statue. Instead, Davis argues that Lilleberg likely used the name as a reference to an old army veteran she knew who apparently stood as “straight and tall” as a statue. Ultimately, it comes down to pretentiousness (or a lack thereof). I love the Academy Awards, but they can be a bit…much, even during the best years. Things have been like that since the origins of the event itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite different to the comics' Spider-Verse saga storyline, but brilliantly done, with a superb range of animation. Deserves the accolade.
