Actors and directors, costume(服裝)designers and songwriters, make-up artists and sound engineers, among others, all have the chance to win an Oscar.

The awards themselves are small statuettes(小雕像), around 34cm tall and weighing just over 3. 5 kg. The golden statuettes are all the same—they show a man(with no clothes on!)holding a sword and standing on a reel of film.

Sadly for the winner, the statue is not solid gold, but just goldplated. In actual value it is only worth around $250. However, although the statuette itself is not worth very much, winning one can be worth millions of dollars to the film studios.

Winning an Oscar means that the worldtop film makers liked your work. It is the best publicity any film can get. If a film can have “Academy Award Winner” under its title, many more people will go to see it.

The Academy was first formed in May 1927, and the awards have been given every year since then. This ceremony, when the awards are presented to the winners, is the highlight of the Hollywood calendar. It is the most glamorous(富有魅力的)and star-studded(星光燦爛的)evening of the whole year, and is shown on television in 90 countries around the world and watched by over 500 million people.

Everyone who is famous in the film world attends the awards ceremony. Most arrive in huge limousines, wearing wonderful clothes. The Oscar ceremony is the one night when Hollywood really is as glamorous as it appears.

For the first few years of the Academy, the Academy Awards themselves were simply called “The Statuettes”. There are various stories which explain why they were at last given the nick mane “Oscars”. The most popular is that the Academy librarian, Margaret Herrick, exclaimed when she saw the golden statuette, “He looks just like my Uncle Oscar!” and the name stuck.

Whatever the reason, it is certainly easier to say “Oscar”, than to say “Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards of Merit”, so the little golden man is now on a first name basis with everyone.
