The Academy Awards, often referred to as the Oscars or simply Oscar, is a movie awards show hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Every year, On Cinema host an annual Oscar Special to cover the event.

Though Oscar's word is final, some movie buffs feel that occasionally Oscar gets it wrong.

Early on in On Cinema at the Cinema, host Tim Heidecker and frequent guest Gregg Turkington would give official "Oscar Picks," which were represented by a small Oscar statuette.
