“An Oscar is worth the value of its metal content minus the cost to melt it down.”
I have to disagree, FRiend.
An Oscar has absolutely NO TRANSFERRABLE VALUE WHATSOEVER.
If you are ‘loaned’ one, you must sign document that you understand it is the property of the ‘Academy’ (or whatever legal term that they go by).
The ‘Academy’ has frowned upon recipients — and their survivors — occasionally selling them on the open market.
You die - it goes back to the ‘Academy.’
In essence, worthless.

Staff safe, a falling tree killed a good friend of my mom, and another falling tree is the reason TX Governor Gregg Abbott is in a wheelchair.
I think she is a very careless person, who doesn’t give a fig about that stupid statue.
What, did she leave it in the girls’ room?
