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.

The Academy Awards look like a naked man, his hands crossed on his chest, holding a long sword, standing on a five-ring film plate, each ring representing an important work department of the Academy of Film Arts: production, director, Screenwriter, actor, technician. The original trophy was made by Mayer and given 500 US dollars to George Stanley. The trophy was 13 and a half inches high and weighed 6 and 3/4 pounds. It was made of alloy inside and a layer of gold flakes on the outside. It looked sparkling, so it was called the Academy Award.
