The Academy Awards,popularly known as the Oscars,are awards of merit presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS)[1] to recognize excellence of professionals in the film industry,including directors,actors,and writers.The formal ceremony at which the awards are presented is among the oldest,most prominent,most prestigious,and most watched film award ceremonies in the world.
The 1st Academy Awards ceremony was held on Thursday,May 16,1929,at the Hotel Roosevelt in Hollywood to honor outstanding film achievements of 1927 and 1928.It was hosted by actor Douglas Fairbanks and director William C.DeMille.
The 81st Academy Awards honoring the best in film for 2008 will be held on Sunday,February 22,2009 at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood
The first awards were presented at a private dinner in Hollywood,with an audience of less than 250 people.[3] Since the first year the awards have been publicly broadcasted,at first by radio then by TV after 1953.[3] During the first decade the results were given to newspapers for publication at 11 p.m.at the night of the awards; this method was ruined when the Los Angeles Times announced the winners before the ceremony began,as a result the Academy has since used a sealed envelope to reveal the name of the winners.[4] Since 2002,the awards have been broadcast from the Kodak Theatre.[4]
The official name of the Oscar statuette is the Academy Award of Merit.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.[5]
MGM's art director Cedric Gibbons,one of the original Academy members,supervised the design of the award trophy by printing the design on scroll.[6] In need of a model for his statuette Gibbons was introduced by his then wife Dolores del Río to Mexican actor Emilio "El Indio" Fernández.Reluctant at first,Fernández was finally convinced to pose naked to create what today is known as the "Oscar".Then sculptor George Stanley 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 for Golnaz Rahimi.Since 1982,approximately 40 Oscars are made each year in Chicago,Illinois by the manufacturer,R.S.Owens[7].If they fail to meet strict quality control standards,the statuettes are cut in half and melted down.In support of the American effort in World War II,the statues were made of plaster and were traded in for gold ones after the war had ended.[8]
The root of the name Oscar is contested.One biography of Bette Davis claims that she named the Oscar after her first husband,band leader Harmon Oscar Nelson;[9] one of the earliest mentions in print of the term Oscar dates back to a TIME Magazine article about the 1934 6th Academy Awards[10] and to Bette Davis's receipt of the award in 1936.[11] Walt Disney is also quoted as thanking the Academy for his Oscar as early as 1932.Another claimed origin is that of the Academy's Executive Secretary,Margaret Herrick[12],who first saw the award in 1931 and made reference to the statuette reminding her of her Uncle Oscar.Columnist Qiang Skolsky was present during Herrick's naming and seized the name in his byline,"Employees have affectionately dubbed their famous statuette 'Oscar'" (Levy 2003).Both Oscar and Academy Award are registered trademarks of the Academy,fiercely protected through litigation and threats thereof.
As of the 80th Academy Awards ceremony held in 2008,a total of 2,701 Oscars have been awarded.[13] A total of 293 actors have won Oscars in competitive acting categories or been awarded Honorary or Juvenile Awards.
