The history of the Oscars
The Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, first took place in 1929, with the aim of recognizing and honoring excellence in the film industry. Over the years, the awards have become increasingly prestigious, with winners often considered to have achieved the highest level of recognition in their field. The Oscars ceremony has evolved over time, with changes to the categories, voting system, and eligibility criteria.
Controversies surrounding the Oscars
Over the years, the Oscars have been the subject of controversies, including criticisms of the lack of diversity in nominees and winners. The #OscarsSoWhite campaign in 2016 drew attention to the lack of recognition for people of color in the film industry. The Academy has since taken steps to increase diversity, including expanding its membership and nominating more diverse films.
