However, here's some information:
* Technically, the Academy awards them for free. They are not for sale, and winners are expected to keep them.
* If a winner *does* decide to sell theirs, they can fetch exorbitant prices at auction. In 2011, an Oscar won by the film "Gone with the Wind" sold for $1.5 million.
* The statues themselves are made of bronze plated with 24-karat gold and are estimated to cost around $400 to produce.
So, the actual value of an Oscar statue is a mix of its production cost and the sentimental, historical, and monetary value it accrues over time.
