Achievements in up to 23 regular categories will be honored on April 25, 2021, at the 93rd Oscars® presentation. However, the Academy won’t know how many statuettes it will actually hand out until the envelopes are opened on Oscar Night®. Although the number of categories will be known prior to the ceremony, the possibility of ties and of multiple recipients sharing the prize in some categories makes the exact number of Oscar statuettes to be presented unpredictable.

Officially named the Academy Award® of Merit, the statuette is better known by its nickname, Oscar, the origins of which aren’t clear.

The 15 statuettes presented at the initial ceremonies were gold-plated solid bronze. Within a few years, the bronze was abandoned in favor of Britannia metal, a pewter-like alloy, which made it easier to give the statuettes their smooth finish. Because of the metal’s shortage during World War II, Oscars® were made of painted plaster for three years. Following the war, all the awarded plaster figures were exchanged for gold-plated metal ones. © Red Silk Carpet June 2021
