Description

Oscar is back and he's shinier than ever.

Unveiling a display of golden statuettes at New York's Grand Central Terminal was actress Melissa Leo, who knows what it feels like to receive the prized trophy.

For her, the honor of winning is about more than just prestige.

(SOUNDBITE) Melissa Leo, actress and Academy Award winner, saying (English):

"I think that my little golden guy might have really sewn that up and assured for me that for the rest of my days, I will be able to act."

Leo, who won best supporting actress in 2011 for her role in "The Fighter", says judging ones peers is not easy.

(SOUNDBITE) Melissa Leo, actress and Academy Award winner, saying (English):

"We actually are the members who make the nominations and vote for the winners in the end, so we all have our own opinions and that's not really what matters so much as the combined opinions of the members of the Academy, so we don't say much about it except it's really hard choosing this year."

Fans hoping to catch a glimpse of Oscar can see the best actor and best actress statuettes, as well as the best actor award won by Michael Douglas in 1987 for his role in "Wall Street".
