Why is the award called an Oscar?

While no one knows for sure how the statuette got the nickname, an urban legend says the name came about after Margaret Herrick, a librarian for the Academy, said the statuette resembled her uncle, whose name was Oscar. The Academy first used the nickname in 1939, a few years after the moniker officially came about.
