The Oscars Aren't the Oscars Without Them

In 2000, more than 4,000 Oscar ballots that were sent to Academy members in California got lost in the mail. In 2016, they went back to using bronze as the core metal and then switched manufacturing again to Pollock Talix Fine Art Foundry in Walden, New York. So the statues cost about 325 bucks a piece to make. That's it. And you can't have a real awards show without the awards, without the statues,. For the purpees, we had those what, 7,000 figurines that were created in a joint operation between Hasbro and Gillette. Handcrafted. I can't even begin to describe them, so I'm not going to.
