How did the Oscars get its name?
Legend has it that Academy librarian Margaret Herrick thought the statue resembled her Uncle Oscar. She later became the executive director. In 1934, a Hollywood column writer, Sidney Skolsky, used the name to describe Katharine Hepburn’s first best actress win. The name stuck and the Academy made the name official in 1939.
