OSCARS

The first Academy Awards were held in Hollywood in 1929.  On March 19, 1953, Americans and Canadians saw the Academy Awards on television for the first time.  Bob Hope hosted the Academy Awards in 1939, when “Gone With the Wind” won for Best Picture.   He hosted the Academy Awards the most times – eighteen.
The Academy Awards are often called the “Oscars”.  There are many stories about the name “Oscars”.  The most popular story is that in 1931, Margaret Herrick, who worked as a librarian at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, said the statue looked like her Uncle Oscar.   After that, people started to call the “Academy Awards” the “Oscars”.
People all over the world watched the 84^th Academy Awards on February 26, 2012 at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles.  This was Billy Crystal’s ninth time hosting the Academy Awards.  He opened the show by acting in scenes from several fabulous movies.
Before the show, many people like to predict who will win.

In my view of this information it was Oh, In never though that Oscars comes from "Academy Awards.
