tinuous opus, engagement and movies that have Hollywood itself as a theme. - Its decisions are nevertheless a reflec- tion of the consideration of a single guild and its attempts to position itself in socie- ty. Therefore we can say that the decisions of the Academy in many ways reflect the kind of image that American filmmakers want to build about themselves. In the case of the Academy, in recent years we have had a whole period of foreplay with lesser awards that create an atmosphere ahead of voting and build an atmosphere before the vote. The Academy takes all of these introductory proposals into account, but gives all of them its stamp. However, tes- tifying to the importance of these awards and how much winning one changes the direction of someone’s career and even life is the fact that omitted films and authors are remembered for years and even dec- ades – says Vojnov, adding that, as with every award, the only list that is more mag- nificent than the list of winners is the list of those who didn’t win. The American Academy of Motion Pic- ture Arts today has over 6,000 members, on- ly 22 per cent of whom are actors, and they are the ones who make the most important decision in the film industry. However, over time the glamour associated with the award ceremony has become almost as important as the awards themselves, so sometimes there is more talk about who walked on the red carpet and how than about who actual- ly received the Oscars. One year it even oc- curred that none of the fans questioned in front of the Kodak Theatre had seen any of the nominated films, but they had all come to see the stars looking their best. In anticipation of the latest, 89 th consec- utive award ceremony, it is worth recalling some interesting happenings from its his- tory. Walt Disney holds the record for nom- inations with 64, of which he won 26, while the first film to win all major awards was“It Happened One Night” in 1935. The category for best foreign language film area was introduced in 1948, with the Oscar going to Italy, which has won the most Oscars (ten) for foreign language films, al- though the record for most nominations belongs to France – as many as 30. In the mid-1950s Hollywood stepped into the era of censorship, thus in 1957 a rule was in- troduced according to which communists were forbidden from receiving an Oscar. We will watch this year’s ceremony on 26 th February, and until then we can only guess who the lucky ones will be. The host will be comedian and TV presenter Jimmy Kimmel.
