DicK Gregory once said that he was the inspiration for the Oscar - hence the name of the award ...... as he is the first person to make a full length feature  movie in the USA.

Though officials sources state otherwise...

The Legendary actress Bette Davis was one of the others who took credit for this Academy Award nickname, claiming the statue reminded her of her Uncle Oscar.

Maybe Oscar Micheaux was her uncle. Who knows?
