The fifteen-minute ceremony
The first Academy Awards, in 1929 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, lasted about fifteen minutes — the winners had been announced three months earlier, and tickets cost $5. Today's statuette is unchanged since then: a 13½-inch, gold-plated knight standing on a reel of film, officially named the Academy Award of Merit. 'Oscar' was always just a nickname.
