Presentation, The Oscars

In my presentation I talk about the Oscar. I think is important Know about it because is an actually even.



What is it talk about? THE OSCAR

The statuette is called Oscar because the most popular story is that Margaret Herrick, librarian and director of the Academy, after looking at the statuettes exclaimed: "it looks like just like my Uncle Oscar.” The meaning of Oscar is a Sir holding a Crusader’s sword, standing on film reel with five spokes.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was established in May 1927 as a non-profit corporation to promote the art of movie making.The first Awards were in 1929 and were presented at a private dinner in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel with 250 people.

Oscar suffer changes during the years. At first the Oscars’ ceremony awarded the better actors and actress of the moment. A few years later, Oscars awarded the overproductions of Hollywood. And, in the actually the cinema is based with marketing and money has more importance.


Woody Allen's opinion is very important for the cinemas world because he is a famous film director and he has total creative control. Woody says: "I would like that the prizes represent something, but unfortunately the way which they organized it, I don’t believe that it serve for much."
