  Academy Award
The Awards are granted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, a professional honorary organization which as of 2002 had over 6000 members.
Academy Awards are nicknamed "Oscars", which is also the nickname of the statuette (the name is said to have been born when Margaret Herrick[?] saw the statuette on a table and said: "It looks just like my uncle Oscar!").
The awards were first given at a banquet in the Blossom Room of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on May 16, 1929 but there was little suspense since the winners of the awards had already been announced three months earlier on February 18.

For acclaimed writer/director John Landis ("Animal House," "American Werewolf in London") and Academy Award winning makeup wizard Rick Baker ("American Werewolf in London," "The Nutty Professor II") it is the beginning of what would evolve into two phenomenally successful film careers.
At just 21, young Landis came off a stint as ‘gofer’ during the filming of "Kelly’s Heroes," decided to pool his cash with that of friends’ and relatives’, and armed with a paltry $60k and the makeup services of some 20-year-old kid named Rick Baker, "Schlock" was born.
