The Academy Awards, commonly known as the Oscars, are an annual ceremony honoring achievements in the film industry. The awards were first presented in 1929, and they have since become one of the most prestigious honors in the industry. Here is a brief history of the Oscars:

• The first Academy Awards ceremony was held on May 16, 1929, at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood. It was a private dinner attended by 270 guests, and tickets cost $5 each.
