Academy Award

Annual honour awarded since 1927 by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in a number of categories that reflect the diversity and collaborative nature of film-making. The Academy Award is one of the highest accolades in the film industry, and a virtual guarantor of increased financial returns. The trophy itself is a gold-plated statuette, which since 1931 has been popularly nicknamed an ‘Oscar’. The most prestigious awards are for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress.

There are also awards for original screenplay, adapted screenplay, cinematography, editing, supporting actor, and supporting actress, in addition to a series of honours for documentaries, shorts, animated films, foreign-language films, special effects, make-up, art direction, and musical scores. Special achievement and honorary awards are also presented.
