An Oscar of one's own

Business Insider reports that you can now have your very own Wuthering Heights 1939 Oscar.

Nate D. Sanders is auctioning off 15 used Oscar statuettes dating back to 1931. [...]
Among the awards up for grab include the only Oscars awarded to "Citizen Kane" and "Wuthering Heights" (Kirsten Acuna)

The Nate D. Sanders website has more information (picture source):

Oscar won for the 1939 classic film, "Wuthering Heights," given to Gregg Toland for Black and White Cinematography, the only Academy Award that "Wuthering Heights" took home. Samuel Goldwyn produced and William Wyler directed the film, adapted to the screen from the Emily Bronte novel of the same name. Laurence Olivier, Miles Mander, Flora Robson, and Merle Oberon starred. This was the only Oscar won by Gregg Toland, though he earned nominations numerous times, including once for his work on "Citizen Kane," which owes much of its status as a frontrunner in visual style innovation to Toland's contribution of deep-focus techniques. Gold-plated statue standing on a film reel measures 10.5" tall, and 12" tall when the base is included. Base diameter measures 5.25" and total award weighs 7 pounds 5 ounces. The plaque on the base reads, "Academy First Award / To / Gregg Toland / For Black-and-White Cinematography of / 'Wuthering Heights'". Minor scratching to gold plating with a chip to reel center. A stunning tribute to "Wuthering Heights" and Toland in near fine condition.

As of now, there are four bids and the current bid is $72,890. There are four days left.

And speaking of the Oscars, more Best Costume Design predictions, this time from the Los Angeles Times' The Envelope:

And the winner is … “The Artist.” Those “W.E.” and “Anonymous” screeners remain at the bottom of the stack. “Jane Eyre”? Eh. Not exactly eye-popping. So it’s between the tuxedos and flapper chic of “The Artist” and all those fun silent-movie costumes and period Parisians in “Hugo.” We bet voters go for the glamour. (Glenn Whipp)

The Albany Democrat Herald doesn't wholly agree:

Costume design: “The Artist.” But a win for either “Hugo” or even “Jane Eyre” isn’t inconceivable. (Mike McInally)

The New York Times features the exhibition Shakespeare’s Sisters: Voices of English and European Women Writers, 1500-1700 at the Folger Shakespeare Library and quotes from Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own:

It is far easier, she suggests, to find “some Emily Brontë who dashed her brains out on the moor” than one who “blazes out” of obscurity. (Edward Rothstein)

The Pittsburgh Morning Sun has an article on St. Mary's Colgan Scholars Bowl Team, one of whose members is

seriously considering forcing himself to read “Wuthering Heights.” (Nikki Patrick)

Perhaps John McCain should have done the same thing because as The Washington Post remembers

McCain was on “Jeopardy!” back in 1964, when he screwed up a Final Jeopardy! question about Heathcliff, from Emily Brontë’s novel “Wuthering Heights,” (Lisa de Moraes)

The Brontë Weather Project posts about looking at the manuscripts of Emily Brontës poems. Book Light Graveyard posts about Jane Eyre and YAL Book Briefs writes about April Lindner's Jane.
