The Academy Awards, often referred to as the Oscars, honor outstanding achievements in both artistic and technical aspects of filmmaking. Presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), these awards recognize excellence in cinema, as determined by the votes of the Academy's members. The Oscars are widely regarded as the highest distinction in the film industry.

The major award categories, known as the Academy Awards of Merit, are presented at a live-televised ceremony in Hollywood, typically held in February or March. It is the oldest global entertainment awards event, with the first Academy Awards taking place in 1929. The second ceremony in 1930 was the first to be broadcast on the radio, and the 1953 ceremony marked the first televised broadcast. As the oldest of the four major annual American entertainment awards, it has inspired its counterparts: the Emmy Awards for television, the Tony Awards for theater, and the Grammy Awards for music. The iconic Oscar statuette features a knight, designed in the Art Deco style.
