It's "Academy award" or "Oscar," not "Oscar award." And technically, although the protests in Tunisia started in December 2010, the government wasn't overthrown until January 2011.

That I will not do. Occupy is the defining word of the protest. All the copy-cat protests are called Occupy [city name], and thus I believe the word should be a requirement in the answer.
