There are many popular awards in the world of art, which are awarded for great success in certain fields of activity. The most famous, of course, is the Oscar, which was established by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts. It is considered the most coveted and prestigious award in the world of cinematography. The first Oscar was awarded on May 16, 1929. The award ceremony until 1953 was broadcast on the radio, now it is broadcast on television in many countries around the world.
Unlike other film awards, Oscars are awarded not by the results of the selection of the selected jury, but by a universal vote of members of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts. For such democracy, the award has gained popularity around the world, and its rating has not fallen over the years. The award is presented in the form of a golden figurine depicting a knight with a sword on a reel of film. Why is she named Oscar?
The first version is associated with Margaret Herrick, the librarian of the Film Academy, who once said that the figurine reminds her of her uncle. According to another assumption, the godfather of the Oscars is considered the Queen of the Hollywood of the 50s, Bette Davis, who called the award in the name of her first husband.
Today the Oscar has 24 nominations, which select the best applicants for the award of the treasured statuette. The Oscar is awarded every year in Hollywood for outstanding services in the field of cinema and for his great contribution to the development of the film industry.
