C L A U D E Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 First awards were given out in '49. The wings on the award represent the muse of art, while the atom represents the electron of science. Each trophy takes five and a half hours to produce, and is made of gold, nickel, silver and copper and weigh 6 pounds and 12.5b ounces and backstage they get the real award, not the one they get on stage.
