'Oscar' Origin
Discussed
In Article
The custom of designating aa
award of merit or first prize by
a personal name such as "Oscar"
is gradually gaining ground.
This belief is expressed by Miss
Mamie Meredith, assistant profes
sor of English at the University,
in a recent issue of Names, the
journal of the American Name So
ciety. This type of award name, she
said in her article "Oscars, Ed
gars and Tonys," started acci
dentally more than 20 years ago
when an employee of the Acad
emy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences remarked that the bronze
statuette reminded, her of her Un
cle Oscar.
The first imitation Oscars, she
said, appeared at the end of World
War II when Fuzzy Wuzzy or GI
Oscars were awarded to Humph
rey Bogart and Greer Garson.
Miss Meredith said that since
then Edgars, Ernies, Gertrudes,
Brendas and many other "name
awards' have been presented for
outstanding accomplishments in
industry as well as the arts. In
addition, she said, there have been
many satirical awards patterned
after the Oscar.
