Oscar Awards 2012: A Review

People who don’t enjoy sports much, may very well like the Oscars. The Oscars is an awards ceremony occurring annually. The ceremony takes place in California and awards excellence in cinematic achievements. 1929 marks the first year the Oscar, or Academy Award of Merit was presented. Most award shows that are equivalent to the Oscars, were modeled after them. The first awards ceremony took place at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, but the most recent awards were bestowed at the Dolby Theatre. 2,947 Oscars have been awarded up until the 87th. Only about 270 people attended the first Academy Awards. During the 15 minutes that the ceremony lasted, 15 statuettes were given out. The very first winner was Emil Jannings, known for his performances in The Last Command and The Way of All Flesh. Janet Gaynor was the first female to win an Oscar.

On February 26th, 2017 I watched the Neil Young “Heart of Gold” concert with my dad. It was a DVD recording containing 20 tracks of his live performance. We watched the concert in our home theatre room through a sound system that captured the quality of the concert.

The Grammys occur yearly and award musicians with honors such as Album of the Year as well as giving

In the short story, the commentator on the announcement is congratulated for at least trying to say “ladies and gentlemen.” Similarly, children are awarded for participation so that everyone feels included and equal, while in reality there are winners and losers.

The indie hit Short Term 12 is a film about scars, external and internal caused by those closest. The unassuming title of the drama refers to a foster care facility, set somewhere in Los Angeles. It houses troubled teenagers that are between court dates or foster families. These kids can be there for sometimes a week or sometimes years, many living in a state of limbo. These are kids who have experienced more in their life than some its supervisors, most who are not much older the kids. It is a master piece about broken people

In sashays Miss America, her arms laden with golden roses, her tiara tilted ever so slightly in a cluster of diamonds. A luminous yellow gown was perfectly draped over her tall figure. Smooth and silky fabric fell perfectly into a puddle behind her on the floor except for the couple inches of fabric that appeared to be bunched together, out of place, and now tucked into the side of her nude coloured tights. She stood on the glossy wooden stage with a smile that was radiating happiness into the audience. Frowning contestants lined the back of the stage, each and every one having a look of envy in their eyes. As all the judges stand up to applaud Miss America a tall, handsome man in a tuxedo enters the stage also clapping, congratulating the

At the 89th Academy Awards ceremony in Hollywood which is to be held on the 26th of February, this year’s winners will be taking home the famous Oscar statuette manufactured by an American Croat.

A tremendous mistake took place in the Oscar Awards 2017, Los Angeles. Most of the awards had already been given out; best direction, production, actress, supporting actors, special effects and music. The most important award for best picture was about to be presented by Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.

Everything as a beginning and that includes the Oscars. The very first Academy Awards Ceremony was privately held on May 16, 1929 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. The ceremony is infamous for being the only one held privately. There were no recording of any kind made public, and winners were simply announced in the newspapers. The hosts of the ceremony were William C. DeMille and Douglas Fairbanks, who was the president of the Motion Picture Academy at the time. Then event only lasted 15 minutes and managed to bring in only 270 people. Most of the nominees were notified in advance they had won, thus ensuring their attendance. The first film to win best picture was the silent war epic, Wings. The first actors to receive an award were Emil

When it comes to the Oscars, one of the key points of discussion the next day, besides the winners and losers, is how the host did. There are very few awards shows as prestigious as the Oscars, thus the role of Oscar Host is a very big deal. The Oscars has relied on a host since its very first ceremony in 1929, when the duo of William C. DeMille and Douglas Fairbanks where brought in to serve as the very first hosts. The most used, and highly regarded host, was Bob Hope, who first served as host in 1940. The comedian would go on to host the ceremony for a record 18 more times, his last being 1978. Other notable Oscar hosts include fan favorite Billy Crystal, who served as host 9 times and Tonight Show Legend Johnny Carson, who served 5 times

The Oscars is an annual American award ceremony hosted by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Science in recognition of the excellence in cinematic achievements within the film industry (as decided by the voting members). For the second year in a row, when the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Science announced its Oscar nominees, only white actors and actresses were among the handful selected for the top categories. Resulting in the reinvigoration of the social media hash tag “Oscar So White”. Since then, there has an uprising amongst the Hollywood community about the lack of diversity in the industry. Many celebrities such as, Jada Pinkett Smith and Spike Lee, are even boycotting the Award show this year.

First of all, I want to say that it was a great experience; Starting with the time spend with my partner and director, preparing all the props (even thought we didn’t have many), choosing right outfit and, finally, presenting.

Everyone has a favorite award show that they all tune in to watch once it makes its debut on TV. If you’re as much of a movie lover as I am then you probably love the Oscars as much as I do.
