In 2010, what is the change coming to the Oscar statuettes?

This year's Oscar winners won't have to put up with any delayed gratification. Breaking with tradition, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is planning to attach the winner's engraved nameplates onto their statuettes at the Governors Ball immediately after the ceremony, which will be broadcast live by ABC on March 7 from the Kodak Theatre. The Academy hands out unmarked Oscars to the winners onstage. In previous years, winners had to bring their trophies to the Academy so the personalized nameplates could be attached. At the ball, which takes place at the Hollywood & Highland Center next door to the Kodak, the winners will be invited into a specially designed area, where technicians will affix the nameplates to each Oscar. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/awards/news/e3i6c8a99484479c6febd97ce35fbb16ba7 Feb 15 10, 10:45 PM
