The Academy Awards are given out every year to recognize outstanding work of
movie actors, directors, and others who are part of the movie-making industry.
These awards, called Oscars, are presented in a formal ceremony in
Hollywood. Several people are nominated in specific categories, such as Best
Movie, Best Actor, Best Music, and Best Costumes. One nominee is chosen to
receive an award in each category. When the awards ceremony started in 1929,
15 awards were presented and the ceremony was attended by only 250 people.
Tickets cost $10, and anyone who could afford a ticket could attend. Today
about two, dozen Oscars are presented. Tickets are no longer sold to the public;
invitations are sent only to people involved in making the movies and to their
guests. Today the awards are presented in the 3400-seat Kodak Theatre in
Hollywood. Until 1941, the winners’ names were already known before the
ceremony and published in newspapers the night before the ceremony. Now the
winners’ names are placed in sealed envelopes and the envelopes are not
opened until the night of the ceremony. Since 1953, Oscar night has been
televised and broadcast all over the world. Hundreds of millions of people see
this show. Viewers watch as their favorite movie stars arrive looking beautiful
and hopeful.
