[i]At least you are willling to guess, ckerr ! You were right, depending on the order you answered the questions ! ;) :)

[Jolie Rouge]

it's been called "the Academy statuette," "the golden trophy" and "the statue of merit." Born in 1928, the Academy Award of Merit - which we know as simply "the Oscar" - depicts a knight holding a crusader's sword, standing on a reel of film with five spokes, signifying the original branches of the Academy: Actors, Writers, Directors, Producers and Technicians. As with the Oscars, we saved the best nominations for last.
