===Lost Garland award=== [[Judy Garland]] had reportedly lost her award over the years, and in June 1958 contacted the academy to obtain a replacement at her own expense.<ref name="Los Angeles Times 2"/><ref name="Los Angeles Times 3">{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-aug-27-mn-11104-story.html|title=Academy Sues for Garland Oscar|access-date=July 12, 2011|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|first=Dan|last=Whitcomb|date=August 27, 2000|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140308123659/http://articles.latimes.com/2000/aug/27/news/mn-11104|archive-date=March 8, 2014}}</ref> The academy obliged, but asked Garland to sign its well-known [[right of first refusal]] agreement covering the duplicate Oscar as well as her original, should it ever turn up.<ref name="Los Angeles Times 2"/> The agreement, put into implementation by the academy in 1950, states that Oscar recipients or their heirs who want to sell their statuettes must first offer the academy the opportunity to buy the Oscar back for the sum of $10. (An amount which was subsequently dropped to $1 in the 1980s.)<ref name="Los Angeles Times 2"/><ref name="Los Angeles Times 3"/> After her death in 1969, many of Garland's personal effects came into the possession of her former husband, [[Sidney Luft]] who attempted to sell a miniature Oscar statuette at a [[Christie's]] auction in 1993.<ref name="Los Angeles Times 2"/><ref name="New York Mag">{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7VMAAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA26|title=Garland Oscar Auction|date=November 1, 1993|work=New York Magazine}}</ref> Upon learning of the impending auction, the academy quickly filed a legal injunction to halt the sale of the Award and, after some research, determined that the statuette in question was Garland's 1958 replacement Oscar, using photographs that showed the original 1940 statuette's unique base differed from the one being put up for auction.<ref name="Los Angeles Times 2"/><ref name="Orlando Sentinel">{{cite web|url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/1993/12/20/garlands-oz-oscar-pulled-from-list-of-auction-items/|title=Garland Oscar Pulled from Auction|access-date=July 12, 2011|work=OrlandoSentinel.com|date=December 20, 1993 |url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121002065709/http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1993-12-20/news/9312200294_1_garland-oscar-academy|archive-date=October 2, 2012}}</ref> The courts ruled in the academy's favor in 1995 and ordered Luft to return the 1958 statuette to the academy; prompting Luft to instead turn the award over to daughter [[Lorna Luft]] who had expressed a desire to keep it in the family.<ref name="Los Angeles Times 2"/> In 2000, a second statuette was put up for auction, which the academy determined this time to be Garland's long-lost "original" 1940 Oscar.<ref name="Los Angeles Times 2"/><ref name="Hollywood.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.hollywood.com/news/EXTRA_The_Case_of_Judys_MIA_Oscar/312563|title=The Case of Judy's MIA Oscar|access-date=July 12, 2011|work=Hollywood.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121004044707/http://www.hollywood.com/news/EXTRA_The_Case_of_Judys_MIA_Oscar/312563|archive-date=October 4, 2012}}</ref> After once again tracing the auction back to Sidney Luft, the academy again took legal action to halt the sale claiming the 1940 statuette fell under the terms of the agreement Garland had signed in 1958.<ref name="Los Angeles Times 2"/><ref name="Hollywood.com"/> The academy again won its lawsuit in 2002 and Luft was ordered to turn the 1940 statuette over to the academy.<ref name="Los Angeles Times 2"/> In February 2010, Garland's original 1940 Juvenile Oscar was put on display to the public at an exhibit held by the academy in New York City called "Meet The Oscars".<ref name="Oscars.org 19">{{cite web|url=http://www.oscars.org/awards/academyawards/82/meettheoscars.html |title=Meet The Oscars, New York |access-date=July 12, 2011 |work=Oscars.org |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110706085044/http://www.oscars.org/awards/academyawards/82/meettheoscars.html |archive-date=July 6, 2011 |url-status=live |df=mdy }}</ref> {{as of|2020}}, its 1958 replacement is believed to still be in the possession of Garland's heirs.<ref name="Variety2"/><ref name="Variety3"/><ref name="Variety"/><ref name="All Business">{{cite web|url=http://www.allbusiness.com/services/legal-services/4468396-1.html|title=Protecting Oscar From Legal Trouble|access-date=July 12, 2011|work=AllBusiness.com}}</ref>
