REFLECTION ON THE ACADEMY AWARDS

     As a person who likes to watch movies very much and is interested in actors and actresses, I would like to inform you about the Academy Awards, which I take a great pleasure in watching and reading about. Known as, informally, The Oscars, Academy Awards are a group of awards given yearly according to the greatness of the cinematic productions. The awards are given at a formal ceremony, and many actors, actresses, film directors, scenarists and producers take part in this ceremony with a great excitement. This awards are being given since 1929. Just like me, many people all around the world wait for the Oscar Awards ceremony impatiently and watch it on their televisions live. We can call the Academy Awards a ‘visual feast’, because participants consider this event very important and start to get prepared for this special occasion months ago. How the people got dressed or put on their make up is mentioned on magazin programs and journals for weeks. The reason for why the Academy Awards are taken so seriously is its members who work pickily with a complete attention. The members who have the right to vote on the films are selected according to their experiences and excellence in cinema. Currently, there are 5830 members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. To be a member of the Academy is so hard that getting a high grade from all of them is a really praiseworthy success. The awards are given  in many categories. Some of these are: best film, best actress, best actor, best design, best scenario, best feature, best film editing…  This year, Academy Awards ceremony will be held on February 24, 2013. I highly recommend everyone to watch this visual feast to broaden their horizon internationally.
