[Tatsuya Kaname]

Oscars can be weird, but selling the statuette for $1?

Well, your answer is...

Spoiler: Is it right?

CORRECT

Strange thing that the Academy Awards rules said

“Academy Award winners have no rights whatsoever in the Academy copyright or goodwill in the Oscar statuette or in its trademark and service mark registrations. Award winners must comply with these rules and regulations. Award winners shall not sell or otherwise dispose of the Oscar statuette, nor permit it to be sold or disposed of by operation of law, without first offering to sell it to the Academy for the sum of $1.00. This provision shall apply also to the heirs and assigns of Academy Award winners who may acquire a statuette by gift or bequest.”

And what's more strange, someone actually sold it, too!

Okay, one question to go!

You are awesome! Now I'm going to offer you a 6-digit question!

You can take the $64,000 and walk away, or risk it for some nice cash. Remember that if you get the question wrong, you'll lose everything.
