Films were so popular that making them became America's fourth largest industry. In 1928 100 milion tickets were sold each week, yet the movies were far from universally approved of Many church leaders, vote-seeking policians, educationalists and conservative citizens attacked them for having a negative effect on people's morals and on children's upbringings (1). ‘As a result The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, a non-profit professional group, was formed in 41927. ts aim was to provide a collective voice against its critics and to encourage the advance of cinema. Some studio bosses hoped that the new Academy would help crush the growing power ofthe unions. Cihers, however, hed high ideals. (2) The first Awards ceremony was held in 1929. It was a modest dinner ata hotel in Holywood and there were no surprises. The winners had all been announced three months earl. Indeed, one of the winners ~ the actor Emil -Jannings — had been given his in advance, as he was unable to attend the ceremony. (3). 250 people attended the ‘ceremony and each had paid 10 dollars for their ket. Just as the fim industry has changed and developed, there have, of course, been meny changes in the Academy's award ceremony since then, Some of the changes happened in the first few years after that first event. Initially, for exemple, the 12-month qualifying period ran from the middle of one year to the next. (4) _. The name Oscar was also introduced in the 1930s, The proper name for the Oscars the Academy Award of Meri No one knows for sure where the name came from and a number of theories have been put forward. (5)__. Margaret Herrick herself has given her name to the huge archive of flm materials, which belongs to the Academy. There have inevitably been chenges too in the types of awards that are given. In 1967, for instance, the Academy award for black-and-white cinematography was abandoned and various new awards have since been introduced. Some ofthese are named awards. (8)_, There are also honorary awards, which have offen been presented to outstanding creative figures ~ Cary Grant and Alfred’ Hitchcock, for example — who, in spite of their obvious talent, never received competitive awards, ‘The system for announcing all these different types of awards is also, of course, now very different. Awards are kept strictly secret untl the night of the ceremony itself. Who receives awards is decided by a vote among the 6,000 members of the Academy. Itis known who has been nominated but not who will win. So in the weeks es ‘Awards ceremony there is considerable speculation in the press and there are many tensions among the professionals, All prepare their acceptance speeches and wear their most stunning clothes and jewellery justin case. y Whoever gets the oPpartunity-6 usé ther speeches atthe next Awards ceremony wil be making these to an audience of 250 but to millions of viewers worldwide.
