Best Answer

The Academy Awards are popularly known as the Oscar due to an interesting incident that occurred in the Academy's Beverly Hill hdqrs. An employee of the Academy on seeing the gold-plated bronze statuette of a human figure, exclaimed, Hey!! that looks just like my Uncle Oscar, & hence the name stuck.
