The Academy Award (frequently known as the Oscar) is an accolade by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) to recognize excellence of professionals in the film industry, including directors, actors, and writers. The formal ceremony at which the awards are presented is one of the most prominent award ceremonies in the world. It is also the oldest award ceremony in the media, and its equivalents, the Grammy Awards (for music), Emmy Awards (for television) and Tony Awards (for theatre) are modeled from the Academy. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences itself was conceived by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio boss Louis B. Mayer.

The 1st Academy Awards ceremony was held on May 16, 1929, at the Hotel Roosevelt in Hollywood to honor outstanding film achievements of the 1927-1928 film season. It was hosted by actor Douglas Fairbanks and director William C. deMille. The 82nd Academy Awards ceremony, honoring the best in film for 2009, was held on Sunday, March 7, 2010, at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, with actors Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin hosting the ceremony.

A. i might discuss how the nominees are chosen...who gets to vote, etc. I would also discuss what catagories there are. I would probably discuss what distinguishes them from other awards (answer: an academy of peers, and they also are the most respected award, or most meaningful in the movie industry). I might talk about historic winners (oldest, youngest, most nominations, most win, most nominated film) I might discuss academy controversy...like during the McCarthy era and blacklisted actors, directors, etc. I might talk about minorities and the academy...first black nominees, etc. If any of these topics sound interesting, asking about them here on yahoo answers will probably get you tons more specific answers.
