Oscar refers to pulling off a lie so convincingly that it deserves an award, like an Oscar which is given to recognize excellence in film. The term comes from the notion that one's lie was so skillfully delivered that it could be nominated for an Oscar, just like an excellent performance in a movie might be nominated. In short, "Oscar" means telling a lie so believably that it seems award-worthy.
