THE ENVELOPE, PLEASE (continued):
•
The list of rules and requirements a filmmust meet in order to be considered for anOscar are just
slightly
little less complicatedthan those printed in the United NationsCharter. For example, submitted films must be of a certain running time, must be record-ed on an approved film stock, and must have been publicly exhibited to paying audiencesfor a specified length of time in certain cities.
•
Oscar, as the Academy Award statuette isknown, measures 13½ inches tall and isheavier than you might expect, at 8½ pounds.
It’s made of tin and copper and then plated
with gold. Since the identities of the winnersare kept secret until the actual awards cere-mony, the plaques on the pedestals of the sta-tuettes handed out onstage are blank. Win-ners return them to the Academy the nextmorning to have their name, award category,and the year engraved on the plaque. As a protective measure, a unique serial number isengraved on the back of each Oscar, sincethey remain the legal property of AMPAS.
•
The Oscar statuettes are manufactured byR.S. Owens and Company of Chicago; thesame company that produces the trophies for
Miss America, the NFL’s Most Valuable
Player, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.AMPAS usually orders about 100 Oscars (at$200 each) to ensure that they have extras tohand out in categories with multiple winners.
•
AMPAS rules prohibit studios from usingcertain methods to promote their films, in-cluding direct mail, telephone campaigns,and elaborate banquets. Instead, studios take
out expensive “For Your Consideration” ads
in film industry magazines like
The Holly-wood Reporter
or
Variety
. Does this tacticwork? DreamWorks Pictures spent over $750,000 on
Variety
ads to promote 1999’s
American Beauty
, which won five Oscars.
