N1. Oscars – The Academy Awards
Yes, the Oscars must be the most prestigious movie awards so that’s why we put them on the first place.
They are famous as the most renowned and awaited film ceremony every year, watched live in over 200 countries.
The official name of the prize is the Academy Award of Merit and it was first presented in 1929 with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences overseeing the process.
The ceremony takes place in the first quarter of the year and honors the achievements of the previous year.
*The statuette is made of gold-plated britannium with a black metal base and depicts an Art Deco representation of a knight with a sword standing on a reel of film with five spokes, each one suggesting the branches of the Academy – the actors, writers, directors, producers and technicians.
