Book review 2-4 The Oscar

Who is the person of consequence in movie industry? Do you know? One of the most important men in Hollywood is just thirty-four centimeters tall! His name is Oscar. Everybody, especially movie industry parties loves him.
Oscar is the popular name for the most famous award in the movie business. Many movie actor or actress, directors would love to get this award.
But why is the Oscar so famous and important? For many movie-makers, an Oscar is a sign that they are making great art. After they have gotten an Oscar, actors and actresses are usually offered lots of work. An Oscar can make a movie and them a big success. It can make an actor a star immediately. They can earn more for each movie, too!

The most important Oscar section is there. Best Picture, Best Actor (Actress), Best supporting Actor (Actress), and Best Director. How to choose the winner is that the members of the Academy vote for them.

An Academy awarding ceremony is very very special day. They dress up gorgeously, and put some brilliant jewelries. Because their fashion and behavior are in the spotlight of all over the world. And very popular entertainer will be chosen as a host of award. For example, Billy Crystal, and Whoopi Goldberg. And then, the presenter read out the names of the nominated actors, movies, or directors. Then, he or she opens the envelope and tells everybody the winner. A set phrase is 「and the Oscar goes to…」peoples who are nominated will might be very nervous when they hear this phrase.

Surely the Oscar is very honorable, but some people don’t think it is very important. Woody Allen, was once nominated, however he said “the Oscar didn’t mean anything to me.”
Anyway, many movies that have won the Oscar are very good and these are must be a masterpiece. For example, Ben-Hur (1960), TITANIC (1997), Dance with wolves(1991).

And, I like watching this awarding ceremony. Actors and actresses are very beautiful and sophisticated. And above all, I like the speech of winner that after had won the Oscar. Their speech is very impressive, deeply, and emotional. Sometime they cry, and give a message that full of appreciate for their manager, family, fun, and god. These scenes always move me.
So I am looking forward to this yearly ceremony. (391 words)
