Terms and Definitions
Also famously known as the "Oscars," the Academy Awards are annual awards recognizing artistic and technical virtue in the film industry. The awards are presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and winners receive a gold-plated statuette, officially called the "Academy Award of Merit."
A nomination is an official entry for consideration for an award. In the context of the Academy Awards, members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences vote in their respective categories to determine the nominees.
The Best Picture category is one of the major categories in the Academy Awards. The award is presented to the producers of the film and is considered the most prestigious award of the night as it represents the best cinematic achievement in a given year.
The actor and actress categories consist of two subcategories: best lead actor/actress and best supporting actor/actress. Nominees in these categories are recognized for outstanding acting performances in films released in the qualifying year.
In the Director category, directors of films are recognized for their outstanding creative and technical direction of a film. This is considered one of the most critical categories, as the director generally has the most creative influence over the story and production of the film.
Screenplay categories are divided into two: Original Screenplay and Adapted Screenplay. An Original Screenplay is a script not based upon previously published material, while an Adapted Screenplay is a script based on another piece of work like a novel, play, short story or TV show.
The Animated Feature Film category recognizes outstanding achievements in the field of animation. This award goes to the director and key creative figures of the film.
The Short Film categories are divided into Live Action and Animated, recognizing outstanding short film production. A short film is defined by the Academy as a film with a running time of 40 minutes or less, including all credits.
