The Academy Awards Awards Show Event Every year in February

In February, the biggest night in film comes to Hollywood with the annual Academy Awards. Held each year at the Dolby Theatre (formerly the Kodak) in Hollywood, the Academy Awards have celebrated the year’s best in film since 1929.

Awards at the Oscars include categories like Best Picture, Best Director, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Actor, and Best Actress. Past winning films include works like Tom Hooper’s The King’s Speech, Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris, Thomas Langmann’s The Artist, and Asghar Farhadi’s A Separation.

Actresses that have been honored at the Academy Awards include Natalie Portman and Meryl Streep. Actors honored at the Oscars have included Colin Firth and Christian Bale.

The Academy Awards is restricted to guests of the Academy. Fans can enter online at the Academy’s website for the chance to win exclusive red carpet tickets to the event. The only other way for movie buffs to see the Oscars live is to apply online months ahead of time as an official seat filler.
