Everyone enjoys being told they are good at what they do and most of us want to be rewarded in some way.(26)But few of us get the same publicity as those working in the film industry, and every actor dreams of being nominated for an Oscar. The Academy Awards ceremony is held in Hollywood once a year, usually in March, and is being shown in more and more countries each year.
The first Academy Awards ceremony was held in 1929 and the first to be televised was in 1953.(27)Since the Academy Awards began they have only been postponed three times. The ceremony had to be postponed in 1938 because of a flood, in 1968 for Martin Luther King’s funeral and again in 1981 after the assassination attempt on President Reagan.
Newspapers used to be given the winners’ names in advance of the ceremony, provided that the names wouldn’t be published until afterwards. However, in 1939 the Los Angeles Times printed the names before the ceremony so since then they have been kept secret.
A few days before the ceremony in 2000, 55 Oscars mysteriously vanished while they were being driven from Chicago to Los Angeles. 52 of the Oscars were found in some rubbish by a man called Willie Fulgear.who was invited to the Oscar ceremony as a special guest in recognition of his honesty.
It seems that the true origin of the name"Oscar" has never been confirmed. However, (29)one story claims that Academy librarian, Margaret Herrick, said the statue looked like her uncle Oscar and the name stuck.
26. Q: What do we know about people work in the film industry?
27. Q: What do we learn about the Academy Awards?
28. Q: What do we learn about the ceremony in 2000?
29. Q: How did the Academy Awards get the name "Oscar"?
