Each winner gets a gold statuette known as an "Oscar." The Oscar is thirteen and a half inches high and weighs eight and a half pounds. About fifty are made each year by a company in Chicago. |
|
|
It takes twelve people about twenty hours to make one Oscar. Everyone who touches it has to wear white gloves. If an Oscar is not perfect, it is cut in half, and they make another one. |
|
|
It is a great honor to win an Oscar. It is a symbol of being successful in Hollywood. For most winners, receiving one is a dream come true. |

每位得獎者會獲得一座眾所周知的小金人「奧斯卡」。奧斯卡高十三點五英吋、重八點五磅。芝加哥的一間公司每年製作五十座左右的獎座。 |

製作一座奧斯卡獎座需要十二個人、二十個小時的時間,碰觸它的人必須戴上白手套。一座製作不完美的奧斯卡獎座會被切成兩半,然後他們會再製作另一個。 |
