Academy Award Trophy

Academy Award Trophy

The appearance of the Hong Kong Film Awards is that of a naked man, with his hands crossed in front of his chest, holding a long sword, standing on a five ring film disc, each ring representing an important department of the Academy of Film and Arts: production, director, screenwriter, actor, and technician. The original trophy was awarded $500 by Mayer to George Stanley for production. It was thirteen and a half inches tall, weighed six and three-quarters of a pound, and was made of alloy. The exterior was silver with a layer of gold foil, which looked shiny, hence it was called the Golden Statue Award.
