It’s a time for the Oscars we know, like W. Oscar Decker, and
meet some we’ve never heard of. Some have foreign accents like Oskar IMO 7222279. Click on the photo.
Hans Oskar . . click on the photo for the rest of these.
Oskar Floa,
and MSC Oscar.
But my favorite Oscar came from the pen–or voice–of this guy, Oscar Wilde.
Enjoy a few like: “Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.” “Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.” “True friends stab you in the front.” and particularly applicable today: “Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.”
As for the movie awards by the derivative name, I’d have to go back a few years to the first opportunity I would have had to pay attention here.

I remember having shown this not so glamorous fellow here http://www.fotocommunity.de/photo/die-oskar-huber-in-duisburg-ruhrort-andr-becker/16531527 But I´m not sure, if one is able, to see his name between all that latticework: “Oscar Huber”.
