Recently, it has been traditional to provide an Oscar statuette to each person listed as an executive producer of the film that wins the Academy Award (Oscar) for Best Picture. It the past, it was given to the studio, so perhaps the studio CEO collected the statuette at the podium. However it is still the film that is actually nominated and it is the film that actually wins the award.
Answer:Actually, the executive producer does not get an Oscar. Only those with "producer" credit actually can receive the statuette as many executive producers do not have much to do with the day-to-day work of a film. Some executive producers only get that credit because they invested money. Some because having their name attached to a project will increase the likelihood of finding or distribution. There are some executive producers who actually are hands on, but if you look at the history of the awards, only "producers" get the actual statuette and can be listed as Academy Award winners for their work.When a movie wins the Oscar for Best Picture, the movie's producers receive the award.
