Academy Awards
The Academy Awards are one of the top, highly conveted honors, and are presented during a ceremony in which members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences select the winners from their peers. They are held annually and honor the past years performances in film.
From a selection of five nominees, in several categories consisting of all areas of the film industry, one person is selected per category by votes and given the Academy Award for their achievement in film. The awards are lovingly nicknamed "Oscar."
The next ceremony to award the Academy's famous golden statuettes takes place at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles on February 29.
