The Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, is an annual awards ceremony that honors outstanding achievements in the film industry. The awards are presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and are widely considered to be the most prestigious awards in the film industry.

The Oscars feature awards in various categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and many others. The winners are selected by the Academy's voting membership, which includes actors, directors, producers, and other industry professionals.

The first Academy Awards ceremony was held in 1929, and the awards have been presented every year since then, with the exception of 1933, when the ceremony was canceled due to a labor dispute. Over the years, the Oscars have become a major cultural event, watched by millions of people around the world, and have often been the subject of controversy and debate.
