Presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Oscars celebrate excellence in various categories, such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, among others. The inaugural Academy Awards ceremony was conducted in 1929, and since then, the Oscars have become synonymous with Hollywood prestige and accomplishment.
