Is it true that once you've won your Oscar, that you have to pay for it? I've heard the Academy bills you later?

I've heard the Academy bills you later... ...to the tune of somewhere between $300 and $400. Does any one know if that's true or not? And if it is true, has it always been that way?

I know they aren't allowed to sell them... Academy Award lawyers have been successful stopping public auctions and private sales of Oscar statuettes made after 1951 -- when winners began signing agreements acknowledging that the trophies belong to the academy. Once or twice a year a pre-1951 statuette goes up for sale, fetching a broad span of prices. The best picture Oscar for "How Green Was My Valley" sold at Christie’s in 2004 for $95,600.In 1999, Michael Jackson set the record for most money ever paid: $1.54 million for the best picture Oscar for "Gone With the Wind.

CREATIVE HOUSE, 944 F.2d 1446 (9th Cir.1991) In 1950, the estate of post-mortem Oscar recipient Sid Grauman offered Grauman’s Oscar for sale at a public auction.No Oscar had previously been offered for sale. An Academy representative ultimately purchased the award.....The Academy, in contrast, has never sold the Oscar to anyone.

Before 1941, the Academy did not expressly prohibit recipients from selling or disposing of their Oscars. After 1941, the Academy required recipients to give the Academy a right of first refusal on any sale of their award, and imposed various restrictions on advertising. http://www.law.cornell.edu/copyright/cases/944_F2d_1446.htm Perhaps at one time they charged the winners an engraving fee, leading to the story or maybe it came from the cost of joining the Academy for winners that were not previous members.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
