UNITED STATES - MARCH 10: Academy Award Oscar who has all movie town in anticipation, is on his way! Some 30 men at the Southern California Trophy Company are devoting skilled attention to Oscar's appearance. Surroundings of molds and lathes, the glamorous trophy, and 39 more justs like him, go through a dozen operations from being poured into the original Oscar mold made in 1928 to the final gold plating and buffing. Standing at almost 12 inches high and weighing seven pounds each the cost to the academy will be $100 per copy. John Dolan pours molten bronze into the orginal Oscar mold.
