The Academy Awards are given out every year to recognize outstanding work of movie actors, directors, and others who are part of the movie-making industry. These awards, called Oscars,

are presented in a formal ceremony in Hollywood. Several people are nominated in specific

categories, such as Best Movie, Best Actor, Best Music, and Best Costumes. One nominee is

chosen to receive an award in each category. When the awards ceremony started in 1929, 15

awards were presented and the ceremony was attended by only 250 people. Tickets cost $10, and

anyone who could afford a ticket could attend. Today about two dozen Oscars are presented.

Tickets are no longer sold to the general public; invitations are sent only to people involved in

making the movies and to their guests. Today the awards are presented in the 3400-seat Kodak

Theatre in Hollywood. Until 1941, the winners’ names were already known before the ceremony

and published in newspapers the night before the ceremony. Now the winners’ names are placed

in sealed envelopes and the envelopes are not opened until the night of the ceremony. Since

1953, Oscar night has been televised and broadcast all over the world. This show is seen by

hundreds of millions of people. Viewers watch as their favorite movie stars arrive looking

beautiful and hopeful.

Read the excerpt from act i of the importance of being earnest. lady bracknell. well, i must say, algernon, that i think it is high time that mr. bunbury made up his mind whether he was going to live or to die. this shilly-shallying with the question is absurd. . i should be much obliged if you would ask mr. bunbury, from me, to be kind enough not to have a relapse on saturday, for i rely on you to arrange my music for me. it is my last reception, and one wants something that will encourage conversation, particularly at the end of the season when every one has practically said whatever they had to say, which, in most cases, was probably not much. what aspect of lady bracknell’s behavior does wilde use to poke fun at the importance placed on frivolous events in formal society? her concern with a party instead of mr. bunbury’s health her interest in playing classical music at her reception her jealousy over algernon’s friendship with the sickly mr. bunbury her concern about the health of algernon’s friend
