The Academy Awards (frequently known as the Oscars) are accolades by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) to recognize excellence of professionals in the film industry, including directors, actors, and writers. The formal ceremony at which the awards are presented is one of the most prominent award ceremonies in the world. It is also the oldest award ceremony in the media, and its equivalents, the Grammy Awards (for music), Emmy Awards (for television) and Tony Awards (for theatre) are modeled from the Academy. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences itself was conceived by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio boss Louis B. Mayer.

The 1st Academy Awards ceremony was held on May 16, 1929, at the Hotel Roosevelt in Hollywood to honor outstanding film achievements of the 1927-1928 film season. It was hosted by actor Douglas Fairbanks and director William C. deMille. The 82nd Academy Awards ceremony, honoring the best in film for 2009, was held on Sunday, March 7, 2010, at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, with actors Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin hosting the ceremony.

How would you feel If Miley cyrus won an Academy Award?
Q. I saw an interview with her a while back and she was talking about how she can't wait to go to the academy awards and get nominated. than she was saying how she hopes her movie gets picked for a nominee. Honestly, If this happened and she got nominatted for a ACademy Award. I would probably never watch any award shows agian or move to alaska.

A. If the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences ever comes up with an award called "can't act his/her way out of a paper bag", Muley certainly will be nominated. What a joke she is! She's a complete waste of space.

A. I sure hope so, even though I really hope that it's not just for the sake of his or her skin color. I think it's a real shame that the progress of both race equality and women's rights and equality has been so incredibly sluggish over the past 50 or so years. If anything would ever happened to even HINT that white, Anglosaxen MEN might be handled unfairly or with prejudice, all holy Hell would have broken out by now. In my book, talent is talent ...regardless of skin color.
