What are the Academy Awards?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Academy Awards, or Oscars, are an annual award ceremony conducted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences<\/strong><\/a> to recognize the previous year’s cinematic achievements in the film industry. The Academy conducts a phased voting process to nominate and select winners using over 10,500<\/em> members from acting, directing, writing, and other branches. While all members can vote for the Best Picture nominees, specific categories are voted on by members from a related branch. So, directors vote for directors, actors vote for actors, etc. The final winners are kept confidential until revealed at the annual show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
