  • APPENDIX Lesson 1.: Introduction
    APPENDIX Lesson 1.: Introduction The Academy Awards, informally known as The Oscars, are a set of awards given annually for excellence of cinematic achievements. The Oscar statuette is officially named the Academy Award of Merit and is one of nine types of Academy Awards. Organized and overseen by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS),http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award - cite_note-1 the awards are given each year at a formal ceremony. The AMPAS was originally conceived by Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer studio executive Louis B. Mayer as a professional honorary organization to help improve the film industry’s image and help mediate labor disputes. The awards themselves were later initiated by the Academy as awards "of merit for distinctive achievement" in the industry. The awards were first given in 1929 at a ceremony created for the awards, at the Hotel Roosevelt in Hollywood. Over the years that the award has been given, the categories presented have changed; currently Oscars are given in more than a dozen categories, and include films of various types. As one of the most prominent award ceremonies in the world, the Academy Awards ceremony is televised live in more than 100 countries annually. It is also the oldest award ceremony in the media; its equivalents, the Grammy Awards (for music), the Emmy Awards (for television), and the Tony Awards (for theater), are modeled after the Academy Awards. The 85th Academy Awards were held on February 24, 2013 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award Time of downloading: 10th January, 2013.

  • Oral Reading Test
    Universal Screening • Fall • Passage 2 Path Driver for Reading™ Grade 7 Oral Reading Test ▼ The Academy Awards is an event held every year to honor the people who work in movies. It is run by a group called the Academy, whose goal is to promote advancements in film. There are award categories for actors, directors, and writers. Awards are also handed out in categories such as costume design and sound effects. All of these awards are presented in a spectacular show held in Hollywood. It is perhaps the biggest night of the year for celebrities, and millions watch the show live on television. The awards show has changed a great deal over the years. The first Academy Awards event was held in 1929 in a hotel ballroom in Hollywood. The event was a private dinner, and there were only 270 people in attendance. When the awards were handed out, there were very few surprises because the winners had been announced three months earlier. Today, award winners are kept secret until the night of the event, when they are revealed live to the audience. Each Academy Award winner receives an award called an Oscar: a small golden statue of a knight standing on top of a film reel. No one is sure where the statue got its name. The most popular theory is that a woman who worked at the Academy once said it looked like her Uncle Oscar. Wherever the name came from, it has stuck. The Academy Awards are often called the Oscars. The Academy Awards can change from year to year as award categories are added or dropped.
