... of the greatest origin stories of all time. Source: Academy Originals on You Tube. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Davis and Nelson are actually responsible for the award's nickname. As Osborne explains and as has been reported elsewhere, Sidney Skolsky, a well-known Hollywood columnist at the time, had been publishing articles using the name "Oscar" for the Academy Award since at least 1934.

Osborne, as the network’s human embodiment, took part in both. (Dennis Mc Lellan). Born in 1932, Osborne was alive for most all of the film history TCM covers. As a film historian, he knew his material from the inside, and the stories he told about the movies he showed felt like his own research and writing, not copy delivered to his desk. As an interviewer, he was an informed conversationalist and good listener who never sought to impress his guests, or viewers, with a display of his own knowledge.
