The Academy Sues Over Sold Oscar
Recently, the Academy Award that Robert Surees received for cinematography for "The Bad and the Beautiful" sold on ebay for $40,500. The Academy has filed a lawsuit in which they ask for both the proceeds and the Oscar. Apparently the Academy has the right to buy back any unwanted Oscars for the bargain basement price of $10. Do you think people should be able to auction off their Oscars?
