Description
Cedric Gibbons Office:
After graduating from New York's Art Students League, Cedric Gibbons worked for his architect father, then started film work at Edison Studios in 1915 assisting Hugo Ballin. In 1918 he moved to Goldwyn as art director and, in 1924, began his 32 year stint as supervising art director for some 1500 MGM films, with direct responsibility in well over 150 of those. He designed the Oscar itself, winning it 11 of the 37 times he was nominated for it.
The iconic Oscar statuettes that he designed, which were first awarded in 1929, are still being awarded to winners at Academy Award ceremonies each year.
Some of his designs influenced American interiors, and it has been argued that he was the most important art director in the history of American cinema.
