Buying an original Academy Award (Oscar) is nearly impossible due to strict legal restrictions. Since 1951, all Oscar winners (and their heirs) must sign an agreement to offer the statuette back to the for just $1 (or $10, depending on the year's specific rule) before attempting to sell it to anyone else.
While you cannot buy a "real" Oscar from the Academy, you can find high-quality, movie-themed trophies and replicas at specialty shops.
The Academy's right-of-first-refusal rule was not implemented until 1951. Statuettes awarded before this date occasionally appear at high-end auction houses like Sotheby’s or Christie’s.
