Film award


The film award- is a cinematic award; it can be awarded in several categories. Unlike the film festival, the film award is not accompanied by a public screening of competitive films. Film awards are usually awarded based on the results of secret voting of experts — less often on the results of the jury discussion.

American film awards

"Oscar" awards

"Oscar" — the award of the American Academy of cinema — is undoubtedly the most famous and popular in the world of cinema award. The first award ceremony "Oscar" was held in 1929. Now the Oscars ceremony is broadcast live in dozens of countries around the world. Brands of clothing worn by the stars at the ceremony, instantly become very prestigious. Unlike most film festivals, "Oscars" are awarded by the results of a General vote of the Academy members, and not by the choice of the jury. And such a democracy has brought this film a well-deserved popularity, though deprived of elitism.

"Golden Globe" awards

The American "Golden globe" award seeks to offer an independent view of Hollywood cinema. The award ceremony takes place in Los Angeles.
American film award Academy of science fiction, fantasy and horror films, also known as the award "Saturn", enjoys well-deserved popularity among fans of science fiction in the movies. Has been awarded since 1972 by the voting members of the Academy. The founder of the award is Dr. Donald A. reed. Initially, the award was called "Golden scroll".

BAFTA Awards

The award ceremony of the British Academy of film and television arts is held in London annually in mid-February. For the first time the awarding of the best British filmmakers of this prize was held in 1947. And if then there were only three nominations, now there are nineteen, and four special nominal awards are awarded. The BAFTA award, which has become international, and the Golden globe award, the winners of which are chosen by members of the Hollywood foreign press Association, are a kind of dress rehearsal for Oscar, because in most cases they anticipate the voting results of members of the American Academy of cinema. In addition to cinematography, BAFTA also presents awards in the field of television and art for children.
