Once a year, on an evening in March, about 500million people from all over the world turn on their televisions.
For the stars, the Oscars are a chance to appear at their most glamorous.
The actual value of each of the little statues is about $250, however, their symbolic value is far greater.
The Oscars seem such a modern occasion that it is surprising to think that the Awards began as long ago as 1927.
However, glamorous though the Oscars are, some people would say not every Oscar winner has won their award on ability alone.
For the audience the Academy Award ceremony is an occasion when we can watch those creatures of our fantasies, film stars, behave like real human beings.

5. People win Oscars for different reasons: his/ her performance in a film; the film producers spend a lot of money on publicity; people think it is time for he or she got an award; the actor plays a man who has a disability.
