2019 Oscars

The Academy Award is a prestigious award in world cinema. Annually, it is presented by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts. The first award dates back to the distant 1929 year.

The ceremony is broadcast live around the world. Until 1976, the NBC channel covered this event, and now all rights are transferred to the ABC channel. The Oscar figurine is a knight on a stand made of black marble, covered with gilding.

Date and Place Oscars 2019

Not so long ago, the Oscar 2018 award procedure was held, and the date for the next one has already been set. The 91st ceremony will be held February 24, 2019 in Los Angeles.

The procedure for determining the winners is as follows:

• 7.01.2019 - selection procedure for candidates.
• 01/14/2019 - selection of applicants ends.
• 01/22/2019 - a ceremony will take place at which the nominees for the Oscars 2019 will be presented in a festive atmosphere.

Hosts and Arena

In 2019, the ceremony, as always, will be held at the world famous Dolby Theater cinema center. There is as yet no evidence of who will be honored to host the event because Kevin Hart refused to host the ceremony.

Who picks the nominees

This award is awarded based on the results of the voting of members of the Academy. The academy has more than 5,000 people, on whom the "fate" of the figurine depends. They are divided into 5 categories:

1. Actors
2. The producers.
3. Screenwriters.
4. Directors.
5. Service staff.

Each representative has the right to choose only a candidate of a certain category. The general vote is held only in the nomination - "Best Film".

When all the premieres of films over the past year have passed (usually this happens in early January), newsletters are sent to all film academics. These used to be paper forms, now they are available electronically on the Internet. So that no one receives two ballots or an empty envelope, all forms are recounted and numbered several times.

Voters must make a choice and forward the result of the company to the auditor, which is PricewaterhouseCoopers. So the five best in a separate nomination are selected.

How winners are chosen

All participants of the Film Academy take part in the vote for the finalist. Then the auditor company again processes the votes. The results of these calculations are kept secret. The names of the winners are called only at the ceremony, after opening the envelopes with the results.

• Participate in the invitation draw and win.
• Receive an invitation from the nominee for the award.
• Settle in the hotel "Hollywood Youth Hostel" which overlooks the boulevard on which the Dolby Theater cinema is located.

Helpful information

It is very simple to find out information about the winners, but many are interested in information about the "back of the coin."

During rehearsals of the ceremony, ordinary students go on carpet flooring.

The Oscar figurine is made in the form of a knight standing on a reel of film and holding a sword in his hands. Dimensions of the award: weight - 3.85 kg, stand diameter - 13 cm, height - 34 cm. Enlarged copies of the figurine are placed along the carpet. They have different heights - from 2.5 to 8 meters, they are painted with paint, which in the light of spotlights cannot be distinguished from gold.

After the official part of the ceremony, all participants are invited to a festive reception.

Carpet is divided into several parts. The length of the track is - 150 meters, width - 10 meters. It weighs about 5 tons.

On the seats intended for placement of nominees, their photo portraits with names are fixed. This is done so that someone does not accidentally take someone else's place.

Cards on which the names of the winners are printed for each nomination are placed in envelopes that open on the stage. In total, 2 copies of each envelope are prepared and sent to the place of the ceremony at different times and along different routes. All this is kept in the strictest confidence.
