Oscar is the most prestigious award in the field of Cinema and every actor dreams to hold this trophy at least once in their lifetime. Well the same model trophy is being given away to the artists from 1929 and now the presenters- Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences took a key decision on Oscar trophies.

Coming to the details, the presenters decide to change the regular suppliers of trophies from Chicago-based R.S Owens & Co. to Polich Tallix Fine Art Foundry. However they made it clear that the original measurements of the Trophy will be same (13.5 inches high and 8.5 pounds). The presenters also asserted that the new look of Oscar Trophies will increase the glory of Academy Awards greater than ever before.

The 88th Academy Awards will be held on Sunday, 28th February, at the Dolby Theater (formerly Kodak Theater) in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
