- It's Academy Award season which means
that all of Hollywood is buzzing
about that famous golden guy, Oscar.
And this year there's more reason than ever
to want to get your hands
on one of the coveted statuettes.
For the first time in 50 years,
Oscar will have a penis.
Meet Henryk Baranowski,
a man who has spent his life with Oscar.
In 1929 his father hand-crafted
the first ever Oscar statuette.
As soon as he was old enough,
Henryk began sculpting the statues himself.
Stan, what would you say your grandfather's specialty is?
(speaks in foreign language)
- No doubt, it's the penis.
- Penis.
- The lines of the penis, the shape of the penis,
the shining of the penis.
The penis is his passion, his pride,
it's his everything.
(laughs)
- [Interviewer] From 1929 to 1950 every Oscar
was crafted in the Baranowski style.
Complete with a tiny penis.
- As you can see here, this is a droopier
(speaks in foreign language)
- European style penis from around 1933.
(speaks in foreign language)
- Oh, this Oscar which is from 1938
has a corkscrew penis.
- Oh okay.
(speaks in foreign language)
- Um, spun corkscrew, yeah.
- Spun penis.
- Of course yeah.
- Oh and this is a very rare Oscar
with a stiff, erect penis which was only made
for one year and that was 1945.
- To celebrate the end of World War II?
(speaks in foreign language)
- No.
- [Interviewer] Sadly, in 1950
Henryk began to suffer from arthritis,
making it difficult for him to perform
the precise, delicate movements necessary
for sculpting Oscar's detailed penis.
(speaks in foreign language)
- He says with his dexterity gone,
it was difficult to craft the penis.
- Yes (speaks in foreign language)
- Oh he said, dicksterity.
- [Interviewer] For years it seemed as though the world
would never again see Oscar's genitals.
But all that changed earlier this year
when Henryk underwent an experimental hand transplant.
With the new hand, Henryk could once again
return to the penis sculpting he loved.
The Academy took notice and last winter
Henryk got the call he'd been waiting for.
(speaks in foreign language)
- He said to me,
"Hello, are you the sculptor of Oscar penis?"
(speaks in foreign language)
And I said,
"Yes, yes I make the penis for the golden man."
(speaks in foreign language)
- And then they asked me to come back.
(soft music playing)
- Be proud (mumbles).
Sorry.
(speaks in foreign language)
- If he could make small golden penises
all day long and into the night
for the rest of his days, he would die happy.
- I hope you do die that way.
I want you to die that way.
- Thank you.
- Henryk, Stan, thank you both so much for joining us.
And for Entertainment Spotlight, I'm Kay Donnelly.
- I can't read a lick of this stuff
but I was told it's about an old woman who dies.
Sounds like a terrible idea for a movie.
- The script is in French.
- What did you say? - What just happened?
I didn't hear. - What does he say?
Aww he's like a little grandpa.
- Is there a smelly foreign person here
who could tell this guy that movies are about
young people who like to have fun and kiss?
- Really there is something so
horrible and painful about you.
I hate you.
