A few recommended Oscar-winning movies

The official name of the "Academy Awards" is the "Academy Awards of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences". It was established in 1927 and is held annually in Los Angeles, USA. It has enjoyed a high reputation for more than half a century. It can not help but reflect the development process and achievements of American film art and has a non-negligible influence on the film art of many countries in the world.

In May 1927, celebrities in the American film industry launched a "non-profit organization" in Hollywood, named the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (abbreviated as A.M.P.A.S.). Its purpose is to promote the advancement of film art and technology. The Academy decided to commend the outstanding achievements of outstanding film workers and established the "Academy Award" (Academy Award). After 1931, the "Academy Award" was gradually replaced by its popular name "Oscar Award". Now Its official name is little known.

Edit the origin of the name of this paragraph

There are different opinions about the origin of the name "Oscar". The more credible one is that in 1931, a female administrator of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences library After Margaret Herridge looked at the Academy Award carefully, she exclaimed: "Ah! He looks so like my uncle Oscar!" After hearing this, the news reporter next door wrote: "The work of the Academy of Arts and Sciences The staff affectionately called their golden statue "Oscar." "Since then, this nickname has spread like wildfire.

Also, the famous actress Betty Davis stated that she was the first to name the Oscar. She said that when she received the Academy Award for the first time, she accidentally She called her husband Haymon Oscar Nelson's name "Oscar" and was heard by reporters on the scene, so it spread all of a sudden.

In addition, there is another theory: Hollywood. Columnist Skorsky was writing a report on a typewriter on the night after the sixth awards ceremony. He actually forgot the spelling of Statuette. He suddenly remembered a scene from a musical that he had watched in the past. scene. It was a group of comedians walking up to the orchestra pit and jokingly saying to the conductor: "Oscar, do you want a cigarette?" "The conductor stretched out his hand to take it, but the comedians dodged away without giving him cigarettes. This caused a roar of laughter. Skorsky believed that the Golden Statue trophy symbolizes desire and should have a comedic color. So he The report read: "Katharine Hepburn won an Oscar for her role as Ava in "Now You See Me." ”

According to various analyses, the first statement above is more credible. Because Betty Davis won the Best Actress Award for the first time in 1935, and at that time The nickname "Oscar" has long been known to everyone. As for Skolsky's view that the Golden Statue should have a comedic aspect, this view may not be accepted by the majority of people in the film industry.

Edit this paragraph about the Oscar. The main body of the Oscar trophy is a 13.5-inch gold-plated male statue weighing 3.9 kilograms, designed by the famous American sculptor George Stanley. The winner can only receive one Golden Statue trophy. If two people win an award, they should each be awarded a Golden Statue trophy.

The Golden Statue Award looks like a nude. The man, with his hands crossed on his chest and holding a long sword, stands on a five-ring film tray. Each ring represents an important work department of the Academy of Film and Television: producers, directors, screenwriters, actors, and technical staff. Meyer allocated $500 to make the original trophy, which was made by George Stanley. The trophy was thirteen and a half inches tall and weighed six and three-quarters of a pound. It was made of alloy on the inside and had a layer of gold flakes on the outside to make it look shiny. Glowing, so it is called the Academy Awards. The design of the Academy Award graphics came from Sazan Ke Gibbons, who was working as an artist at MGM. His boss Meyer appointed him to do this job, and Gibbons He is one of the most outstanding art designers in film history. He not only designed the Academy Award, but also won the Academy Award in the future. From the second to the 29th, he won 39 awards in 28 years. Nominated twice, he has won eleven Academy Awards. Gibbons has participated in the art design of almost all of the outstanding films produced by MGM.

The size, weight, and size of the Oscar statuette. The structure and price are different between early and modern times.

Height: 10 and a quarter inches in early times, 13 and 1/2 inches (about 34.3 cm) now. .

Weight: 6.75 pounds (approximately 3.06 kilograms) in the early days and 8.54 pounds (approximately 3.8 kilograms) in the early days.

Structure: Tin-copper alloy in the early days. 92.5%, copper accounts for 7.5%), coated with gold foil; now it is an alloy of tin, copper, and antimony. After it is made and formed, it is plated with copper, nickel, and silver, and then 24K gold foil is coated on the outside, and the outermost layer is coated with luminous paint.

Price: Each trophy was worth US$30 in the early days and is now worth US$350.

On September 2, 1941, the Oscar Ownership Act was promulgated, stipulating the gold price. Trophies cannot be bought, sold or mortgaged. If this happens, the academy will seek compensation equivalent to the price of the trophy from the seller. Also, if more than one person wins a prize, all other trophies will be charged at the original price. money.

Since 1943, because metals such as tin and copper are important strategic materials, the Oscar statue has been made of plaster for four consecutive years and coated with gold. After the war, these plaster statues were replaced with metal ones.

All winners will receive a gold statue necklace as a gift to their relatives. The necklace is engraved with the name of the relative, and a 3.5-centimeter-long Oscar statuette hangs from the necklace.

Edit the setting of Oscar awards in this paragraph

The items for the first Oscar awards were different from those now. There were only seven items: ① Best Picture ② Best Actor ③ Best Actress ④ Best Actress Best Director ⑤ Best Screenplay ⑥ Best Cinematography ⑦ Best Art Design. There are also two other special awards: Artistic Quality Award and Technical Effect Award, but these two were only awarded once and were canceled in the second session. The first Academy Award winner was elected on February 18, 1929, and the awards were presented at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood on May 16, with about 250 people in attendance.

The Oscar Awards can be divided into three categories: Achievement Awards, Special Awards and Science and Technology Awards. Achievement awards mainly include best film, best screenplay, best director, best performance (heroine and actor, supporting role), best photography, best art, best music, best editing, best costume design, and best makeup , Best Short Film, Best Documentary, Best Foreign Language Film, etc. Special awards include the Honorable Mention, the Irving Thalberg Memorial Award, the Joan Hersholt Humanitarian Award, the Scientific and Technological Achievement Award and the Special Achievement Award. Among the many awards mentioned above, the most influential is the Best Picture Award, while the Best Actor and Actor Award is the main performance award. The winners are known as the "Best Actor" and "Queen", and it is an honor coveted by actors and actresses. .

The first 19 Oscars only awarded American films. From the 20th Oscar, the Best Foreign Language Film Award was only included in the special awards. The film to be selected must be a large-scale feature film that was released in a commercial theater in a certain country from November 1st of the previous year to October 31st of the next year. Only one film from each country is selected. This film is recommended by the film organization or censorship committee of that country. It must be subtitled in English and sent to the Academy's Foreign Film Committee for review. A secret ballot is then held to select the five nominated films. After watching the five films, a jury composed of 4,000 leading figures in the American film industry will select the best foreign language film. This award is only awarded to works, not to individuals. From 1947 to 1993, Italy won ten times, France won seven times, Sweden won four times, and Japan, the former Soviet Union and the Federal Republic of Germany each won three times.

Edit this paragraph Oscar Award Rules

The Academy Awards have been selected and awarded annually since 1929, and have never stopped. All films performed from January 1st to December 31st of the previous year can participate in the selection. The selection of the Academy Awards goes through two rounds of voting. The first round is the nomination voting. Each department under the Academy is responsible for the nomination (using a registered method). The nominated films will be screened in rotation at the Academy headquarters. After watching, all members of the Academy will then A second round of voting will be conducted (a secret method will be used), and the number of votes will ultimately determine the winner of the film.

The list of winners is highly confidential. After the members of the Academy vote, all votes are submitted to the accounting firm Price-Waterhouse in the United States for counting. The ballots were placed in safes, guarded day and night by armed guards. All the papers used after the statistics were burned and kept strictly confidential. The list of winners will be placed in sealed envelopes until the day of awarding, when the emcee will open the envelopes and announce them in public.

The Oscar judging rules consist of two parts: the rules of the judging agency and the rules of the judging awards.

The overview of the Oscar judging organization is not complicated. It is divided into a two-level pyramid form. The top level is the Academy President’s Jury, and there are academy branch juries below. Members of the chairman's jury come from 14 affiliated societies (Actors Guild, Directors Guild, Art Directors Guild, Photography Guild, Artists Guild, Screenwriters Guild, Film Executives Guild, Film Editors Guild, Film Producers Guild, Music Guild, Recording Guild). , Public Relations Association, Short and Feature Animation Association, Visual Effects and Authors Association). Except for the chairman of the bureau, who is from the Film Editors Association, the other members are composed of three representatives selected from each of the remaining associations. The officers of the Bureau include the President, the First Vice-President, the two Vice-Presidents, the Treasurer and the Secretary-General. They serve for one year and may be reelected for no more than four terms. The management activities of the College are mainly carried out under the supervision of executive officers appointed by the President of the College. Members of the Presidium are elected for a one-year term and may serve no more than three consecutive terms in the same position. The main criteria for selection to the Bureau are your contribution and reputation in the industry, and the recommendation of at least two serving members. In addition to professional judges, the jury committees of branch societies under the presidium also include a large team of voluntary participating members. Each branch has 5,000 to 6,000 voluntary participating members. This is actually the real source of the Oscar's influence.

Compared with the Oscar’s judging agency rules, the Oscar’s judging award rules are quite cumbersome, with dozens of pages.
