$200 Oscar Envelopes and All That Fuss

It takes nearly 3 weeks or 110 man-hours to produce all 72 envelopes, 24 of which only make it to the stage, according to CNN. And each one costs about $200 to make, which is roughly the price of a fine dinner for one.

"An abundance of high-end supplies go into the production, like the iridescent metallic paper stock imported from a small mill in Germany and 40 yards of rich red double-faced satin," the news source explained. "The red lacquered lining is waxed to ensure the envelopes are fumble-proof for presenters."

"Each envelope undergoes 10 distinct processes before coming to life," CNN added.

The envelopes also have their own security detail, which is provided by Price Waterhouse and Coopers - the firm entrusted with the delicate job of counting Academy votes for the past 81 years.

Oscar Trophy's Resale Value is $1
