| AMPAS, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences（美国电 影艺术和科学学院）, presents the Oscars each year. About 6 000 people who work in the movie industry belong to the organization. It was established in 1927 to support the film industry. The Academy began presenting awards（颁发奖项）in 1929. At that time, films were just starting to have sound. The awards were not called Oscar until much later. In 1951, a woman who worked in the Academy library said the statue (塑像) looked like a family member - her uncle Oscar. A reporter heard of this story and wrote about it. Some people said the reporter and the librarian named the statue Oscar. Each year, the American film industry will honor some of its best. The steps of choosing award winners begin with members of AMPAS. These people work in 13 different professions. The members choose among people doing the same kind of work they do as candidates (候选人) for Academy Awards. All Academy members choose the final winners among those candidates. The awards are presented every spring. Important people in the movie industry,such as famous actors and actresses, attend the ceremonies (仪式). Crowds of people wait outside the theater to watch the famous movie stars as they arrive for the ceremony. Camera lights flash. Actors and actresses smile for the photographers and television cameras. During the ceremony, famous actors and actresses announce the names of the winners. Then the winners walk up onto the stage to receive their Oscars. Their big moment has arrived. They cry. They laugh. They thank all the people who helped them win the award. These winners will go home with a golden Oscar. |
