Tim, your link doesn`t work. Did you mean this?: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is demanding Poland's Association of Folk Artists to stop giving out the "People's Oskar." The Academy that hands out Hollywood's "Oscar Awards" has demanded that the Polish drop their "Oskar" awards.
However, Waldemar Majcher of the Association of Folk Artists, Poland, on Monday said that they give "People's Oskar" in the honor of Oskar Kolberg, a 19th-century Polish ethnographer who wrote more than 10,000 Polish folk songs, 1250 folk tales, 670 fairy tales, 2700 proverbs, 350 riddles, 15 folk spectacles and many other ethnographic documents. He died in Kraków in 1890.
The "People's Oskar," a metal slab with an engraved image of Jesus, is awarded to individual artists, museums, folk festivals and even a bread fair for the past 10 years.
Majcher said last week he received a letter from Polish lawyers representing the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences protesting the use of the name "Oscar" with its Polish spelling "Oskar." www.ibtimes.com/articles/302612/20120222/academy-awards-demanding-stop-oskar-award.htm
