In the film industry, the Oscars Award is known as the most popular and prestigious awards.
Popularly known as the Oscars Awards, the Academy Awards are awards for creative and technical achievement in the film industry. Provided annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), the honours, as determined by the voting membership of the Academy, are an international acknowledgement of excellence in cinematic achievements.
A replica of a golden statuette is presented to the different category winners as a prize, officially called the “Academy Award of Merit”, although its nickname, the “Oscars” is more frequently referred to. The statuette depicts an Art Deco style knight.
George Stanley initially sculpted the award from a concept sketch by Cedric Gibbons. At a private dinner hosted by Douglas Fairbanks at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, AMPAS first presented it in 1929 at what would become known as the 1st Academy Awards. The first radio broadcast of the Academy Awards ceremony was held in 1930 and aired for the first time in 1953. It is the oldest ceremony for worldwide film awards and is now worldwide live televised.
It is also the oldest of the four major annual American entertainment awards; its equivalents are modelled after the Academy Awards-the Emmy Awards for television, the Tony Awards for theatre, and the Grammy Awards for music.
On February 9, 2020, the 92nd Academy Awards ceremony, recognizing the best films of 2019, was held. As with the previous ritual, no-host remained. They broadcast the ceremony on ABC. It was presented for the 18th consecutive year at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. This ceremony marked the first time in Oscars history that ten or more nominations were awarded to more than three films. Since its establishment in 1929, a total of 3,140 Oscars statuettes have been awarded.
On May 16, 1929, at a private dinner party at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel with an audience of around 270 guests, the first Academy Awards presentation was given.
At the Mayfair Hotel, the post-award party was held. The cost of guest tickets for the ceremony that night was $5 ($74 in 2020 dollars). For their works during the 1927-28 era, fifteen statuettes were presented, honouring artists, directors, and other participants in the film-making industry of the time. The ceremony lasted for 15 minutes.
Three months ago, the winners were announced to the public. That was changed in 1930 for the second ceremony. Since then, at 11:00 pm on the night of the awards, the results were sent to newspapers for publication for the remainder of the first decade. This practice was used until 1940 when the Los Angeles Times revealed the winners before the ceremony began; as a result, the Academy has used a sealed envelope to disclose the names of the winners since 1941.

Emil Jannings was the first Best Actor to be rewarded for his roles in The Last Command and The Way of All Flesh. Before the ceremony, he had to return to Europe, so the Academy decided to grant him the award sooner, making him the first recipient of the Academy Award in history. At that time, during the qualifying period, winners were honoured for the entirety of their work performed in a certain category; for instance, Jannings received the award for two films in which he appeared during that period, and Janet Gaynor later won a single Oscars Award for three film performances.
The method changed with the fourth ceremony, however, and professionals were rewarded in a single movie for a particular accomplishment.
