In 1929, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) first held a prestigious film award known as the Academy Awards, or better known as the Oscars.
Since then, the Oscars have become one of the biggest and most prestigious film awards in the world, which is the main goal for filmmakers and actors to win.
However, along with the changing times and cultural changes, the Oscars are also not free from controversy.
In this article, I will explain the history of the Academy Awards, the impact the Oscars had, and the controversies surrounding the awards.
The history of the Academy Awards begins in 1927, when 36 members of the Hollywood film industry joined together to form an organization called the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS).
The main purpose of AMPAS is to reward the best works in the film industry, as well as to improve the quality and standards of film production.
In 1929, AMPAS held its first film award, which was named the Academy Awards, or better known as the Oscars.
The first Oscars were awarded in 15 film categories, including Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Picture.
In the same year, the Oscar was also given to the first non-English language film, namely "The Patriot" produced by the German film studio, UFA.
Since then, the Oscars have become the largest and most prestigious film award in the world, which is considered a token of appreciation for the best works in the film industry.
However, along with the development of the times, the Oscars also underwent several changes. In 1934, the first Oscar was given to an animated film, namely the film "The Three Little Pigs" produced by Walt Disney.
