How did the Oscar ceremony come about?

The idea of Oscar came from Louis B. Mayer, an American film producer, who wanted to create an event to honor the film industry. The ceremony was named Oscar in 1939, when an AMPAS secretary noted that the gold statuette the winners received looked like her uncle Oscar.

Over the years, the rules of the wedding ceremony Oscar have evolved, but some remain the same. Academy members vote to choose the winners in each category, including best picture, director, actor, actress and screenplay. The ceremony is broadcast live to millions of viewers around the world and is one of the most anticipated events on the Hollywood calendar.
