The Academy Awards is an American awards ceremony held annually to honor
achievements in the film industry. Winners are awarded the statuette, the Oscar, which
is officially named the Academy Award of Merit. As the oldest entertainment awards
ceremony in the United States, the Oscars has many equivalents—the Emmy Awards
for television, the Tony Awards for theatre, and the Grammy Awards for music and
recording, which are all modeled after the Academy Awards.
In 1929, the first Academy Awards was presented at a private dinner at the
Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. A total of 270 people attended the ceremony and fifteen
golden statuettes were awarded to distinguished artists, directors and other
personalities of the film-making industry for their works. At the 29th ceremony, the
Best Foreign Language Film category was first introduced. After that,
foreign-language films were honored with the Special Achievement Award. As of the
83rd Academy Awards ceremony held in 2011, a total of 2,894 Oscars have been given
for 1,853 awards.
