  2. The Oscars is an annual award of American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science (AMPAS). It is the most prestigious cinematic award in the USA. The Oscar ceremony is transmitted in different countries all over the world live. The very first ceremony took place in Roosevelt hotel 16th of May 1929 in Hollywood.

  18. At the Oscars there are 2 competitions: for statuette and for best dress. Talking about the Oscar ceremony we cannot omit this aspect as there is a massive discussion of red carpet gowns (on TV, in magazines and Internet), plus celebrities do their best to look as real stars.

  29. After –partyAfter official part of the Oscars the brightest and luxury part starts-after-party.We cannot neglect the importance of this event.There are 2 main parties: Vanity Fair which hosts an exclusive Academy Awards after-party at the restaurant Morton's. Elton John’s after-party which has been associated with AIDS charities since the deaths of his friends Ryan White and Freddie Mercury.

  30. In 1969 first world transmission of the Oscars took place. Precious envelopes also appeared only in 1940. Before that names of the winners were published in newspapers. Today it is difficult to imagine the ceremony without these exciting minutes when nobody in the audience, in the country, in the world knows who is going to win the prize. Everything was much easier when it all started. 81 years ago 250 guests came together in one ofthe best hotels in Hollywood and paid $10 to see the first heroes of American cinema business. As I have already said that ceremony was really short. Nobody could guess what hours-long show it is going to become. The form of the statuette had not changed, but traditions and rules of the Oscars have been developing through years. There were a lot of scandals, misunderstandings, touching moments.

  31. Interest to cinema appeared in America mostly at the time of immigration. In 1907 1 285 000 people came to USA only from Europe. That made a great impact on making movies.When we talk about cinema art it is hard to overestimate the importace of the Oscars. Movies that won the prize became the subject of research and the admiration of cineasts from all over the world. In this respect the name Oscar is really appropriate as it means “a spear of the gods”.
