TV Trivia: Weighing the Awards

The Academy Awards are the 800-pound gorilla of award shows, but the People's Choice trophy outweighs the Oscar statue by more than 5 pounds. Here's a breakdown from USA Today (WKYC's sister newspaper, published by Gannett) on just how much trophies weigh.

1. People's Choice trophy (14 lbs)
2. Oscars (8 lbs, 8 oz)
3. Grammys (6 lbs, 8 oz)
4. Golden Globes (5 lbs, 7 oz)
5. Emmys (4 lbs, 12 oz)
