		The Awards are granted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, a professional honorary organization which as of 2003 had a voting membership of 5816.
		Academy Awards are nicknamed "Oscars", which is also the nickname of the statuette (the name is said to have been born when Academy librarian 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.

	Honorary Doctorate -- Recommendations and Resources (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		An honorary degree (Latin: ''honoris causa ad gradum'') is an extra-ordinary academic degree awarded to an individual as a decoration, rather than as the result of matriculating and studying for several years.
		Honorary degrees are usually awarded at regular graduation ceremonies, at which the recipients are often invited to make a speech of acceptance before the assembled faculty and graduates — an event which often forms the highlight of the ceremony.
		Recipients of an honorary doctorate who do not also hold a ''bona fide'' doctorate often choose not to use the title of "doctor", though it may be appropriate to use the title provided it was conferred based on some tangible and relevant achievement.
