The Oscars, officially known as the Academy Awards, were decided to be organized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) to honor the impact of cinema and the development of the industry.

The first ceremony was held in 1929, the year the Great Depression began, with 270 people in attendance and lasted only 15 minutes.

From the 1930s onwards, the ceremony began to appeal to wider audiences.
