Each year, fans, directors, producers, and famous celebrities gather for Hollywood’s most esteemed event, The Oscars. This grand ceremony honors every aspect of filmmaking including acting, direction, cinematography, makeup, and visual effects. Winning an Oscar is considered one of the highest achievements one can gain in the film industry, and for many actors and directors, this can be a career changing moment.
Although, the Oscars are the most famous award one can gain, they are just one part of the many awards that are given away during this award season. Events like the Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG), the Golden Globe Awards, and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards all acknowledge brilliant performances in cinema and television. Most of the time these events serve as predictions for who will take home an Oscar, as winning multiple awards in these films can create lots of suspense and tension.
This year, movies like The Brutalist Anora have shown their potential with 345 nominations and 118 wins throughout this award season. However, many people do not even watch the Oscars for the awards, and instead watch them for the red carpet. Designers debut gorgeous gowns with intense looks that have sometimes never been seen before. Sometimes, these outfits even symbolize their support of social and political events around the world.
Acceptance speeches are also a huge part of the Oscars, as they can be inspiring and sometimes relatable to fans watching all over the world. The Oscars acceptance speech in 2023 given by Ke Huy Quan is an example of how powerful and emotional these speeches can be at times.
The awards season has finally started and all eyes are on the upcoming Oscars Ceremony, so do not forget to tune in on Sunday, March 2, 7:00-10:00 PM to see if your favorite celebrities win the awards you want them to!
