 B. Activity
Title: Reading session
 The teacher will ask the students to read the short article below:
The Academy Awards are given out every year to recognize outstanding work of
movie actors, directors, and others who are part of the movie-making industry. These awards,
called Oscars, are presented in a formal ceremony in Hollywood. Several people are
nominated in specific categories, such as Best Movie, Best actor, Best Music, and Best
Costumes. One nominee is chosen to receive an award in each category.
When the awards ceremony started in 1929, 15 awards were presented, and the
ceremony was attended by only 250 people. Tickets cost $10, and anyone who could afford a
ticket could attend. Today about two dozen Oscars are presented. Tickets are no longer sold to
the general public; invitations are sent only to people involved in making the movies and to
their guests.
Today the awards are presented in the 3400 seat Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. Until
1941, the winners’ names were already known before the ceremony and published in
newspapers the night before the ceremony. Now the winners’ names are placed in sealed
envelopes and the envelopes are not opened until the night of the ceremony. Since 1953, Oscar
night has been televised and broadcast all over the world. This show is seen by hundreds of
millions of people. Viewers watch as their favorite movie stars arrive looking beautiful and
hopeful.
