The origin of the "Oscar" nickname for the Academy Award of Merit statuette is disputed.
In 1939, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) officially adopted the moniker "Oscar" for its Academy Award of Merit statuette. By that time, the award had been frequently referred to as an Oscar by newspapers, actors, directors, and many others in the film industry. One popular story is that Academy librarian and executive director Margaret Herrick said that the statue resembled her Uncle Oscar when she saw the trophy for the first time.
In another story, Bette Davis, who was a president of the Academy in 1941, said she had named the award after her first husband, band leader Harmon Oscar Nelson. The nickname first appeared in print when Hollywood columnist Sidney Skolsky wrote in his March 16, 1934 column that Katharine Hepburn had "won an Oscar." Also in 1934, Walt Disney was the first person to thank the Academy for his win during his acceptance speech.
