One of the most famous film prizes in the world is the Oscar. Every year in the United States, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences gives Oscars to people who have done well in films. There is an Oscar for the best film of the year, another for the best actor, and Oscars for doing many other things well in films.
Oscars are very important because people want to see films that have won them. They also want to see actors who have won Oscars. This means that films that have won Oscars make a lot of money. The Academy first gave prizes to films in 1927, but they were not called Oscars then. That happened four years later. Most people think that Oscar was someone famous in films, but he wasn’t. He was no one important. He was someone that a woman called Margaret Herrick knew. She worked for the Academy and one day she saw the prize on a table. She said”He looks like my friend, Oscar.” From that time on the prizes were called the Oscars.
