Best Song Oscar for ''Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah'', presented to songwriter Allie Wrubel at the 20th Academy Awards. Wrubel composed the music and co-writer Ray Gilbert wrote the lyrics to the song from the soundtrack of the Walt Disney musical ''Song of The South''. Immediately recognized as special in its day, ''Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah'' has endured as one of the most beloved songs of the 20th century, and is the current song for the Disney theme park ride ''Splash Mountain''. Award is accompanied by a hardcover copy of the Wrubel family's photo-illustrated biography containing an intimate glimpse into Wrubel's career as one of the most prolific and successful songwriters in Hollywood. Oscar statue is a knight figure posed perfectly symmetrically with a crusader's sword, and standing on a film reel, the five spokes of which represent actors, writers, directors, producers and technicians. Gold-plated brittanium statue sits atop a black lacquered metal base bearing plaques labeling the award. Underside of the base is lined in felt. Measures 13.25'' in height and weighs 6 pounds, 5 ounces. Figure shows a light allover sprinkling of corrosion and chipping to finish on the base, otherwise near fine with a bright gold finish, and displaying nicer than most Oscars of its period. From the Wrubel estate.
