Oscar Basics

The Oscars are a prestigious annual event that honor our most popular movie stars, the producers, and the writers of the movies we love to watch. It is a very popular event that puts Hollywood into a buzz. The Oscars are viewed by millions of fans who want to wish their movies and their favorite stars well. The buzz begins with the Oscar nominations that are released about a month before the actual event takes place. These nominations give everyone the information on who has the opportunity of winning one of those wonderful gold statues.

The Oscars are an award ceremony that many in Hollywood take very seriously. Hours before the event the red carpet is laid out and each person attending the event is televised as they walk from their car, across the red carpet, and into the event. The clothing worn for the Oscars takes on a life of its own. The top designers work to get their clothing and accessories worn by the hottest stars. There are always lists after the Oscars of the best and worst dressed at the Oscars.

After the Oscar ceremonies are over, the magazines and television are filled with behind the scenes interviews with the winners and the nominees. There are also great stories about the extravagant after parties that take place. This is a great way to find out how these Hollywood stars actually spend their time having fun after such an event.

There are seven major categories featured at the Oscars. They include best picture, director, actress, actor, supporting actress, supporting actor, and foreign language film. On the big night a small clip for each nominee in each category is chosen. After the winner is announced they get to come to the front of the stage and make a short speech. Some of these speeches have been well rehearsed and others are completely in shock that they have won. Some of the Oscar winning speeches have left us amazed while others have been very contraversial.

The buzz that takes place about the Oscars is well anticipated each year. From the announcement of the nominees to the anticipation of what will be worn, it takes a great deal of work both behind the scenes and in front of the camera to make it go smoothly. Enjoy watching the interviews that take place before the Oscars, the red carpet event, and watching the winners being announced.
