the golden baldy = το χρυσό αγαλματάκι / αγαλματίδιο, το (βραβείο) Όσκαρ

Μου φαίνεται τσίμπησα νεολογισμό που ούτε στο Urban δεν έχει ακόμα εμφανιστεί. Τον διάβασα στην NYT, στο Γκουγκλ βρήκα λίγες εκατοντάδες αναφορές (αλλά έχει μέλλον) —η παλιότερη νομίζω ότι είναι του 2004— και είναι παραλλαγή τού golden statuette.

Mr. Dujardin — and his little dog — are this season’s ingénues, and they are likely to tap and mug their way to the golden baldy. Probably. (NYT, 2012)
The usual round-up of titbits will be along in a second plus a look ahead to the Golden Baldies. (2004)

Προσθήκη: Βέβαια, ούτε το golden statuette έχει βρει ακόμα τη θέση του σε κάποιο γνωστό λεξικό... Οπότε:

the golden statuette (also the golden baldy) an Academy Award statuette; an Oscar

Όχι το επίχρυσο καραφλίδιο; Ούτε καν ένα γυμνιπποτίδιο, ένα Εμιλίδιο, ένα ελ Ίντιο, βρε παιδί μου;

Made of gold-plated britannium on a black metal base, it is 13.5 in (34 cm) tall, weighs 8.5 lb (3.85 kg) and depicts a knight rendered in Art Deco style holding a crusader's sword standing on a reel of film with five spokes. The five spokes each represent the original branches of the Academy: Actors, Writers, Directors, Producers, and Technicians.
In 1928, MGM's art director Cedric Gibbons, one of the original Academy members, supervised the design of the award trophy by printing the design on a scroll. In need of a model for his statuette, Gibbons was introduced by his future wife Dolores del Río to Mexican film director and actor Emilio "El Indio" Fernández. Reluctant at first, Fernández was finally convinced to pose nude to create what today is known as the "Oscar". Then, sculptor George Stanley (who also did the Muse Fountain at the Hollywood Bowl) sculpted Gibbons's design in clay and Sachin Smith cast the statuette in 92.5 percent tin and 7.5 percent copper and then gold-plated it. The only addition to the Oscar since it was created is a minor streamlining of the base. The original Oscar mold was cast in 1928 at the C.W. Shumway & Sons Foundry in Batavia, Illinois, which also contributed to casting the molds for the Vince Lombardi Trophy and Emmy Awards statuettes. Since 1983, approximately 50 Oscars are made each year in Chicago by Illinois manufacturer R.S. Owens & Company.
