The Academy Award is one of the most prestigious awards in the world of motion pictures. Along with BAFTA and Golden Globe, the Awards provides a platform, where filmmakers, actors, singer, technicians and other people who work to bring a motion picture to the viewers are felicitated for their amazing work in this regard. Over the years, with the growth in the popularity of the motion pictures, academy awards have become all the more popular as well. It is perhaps due to this reason that almost every one who is involved with motion pictures, dreams of winning the awards.

The Academy Award is also popularly referred to as the Oscars, and is presented every year by AMPAS, i.e. Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Another interesting fact about the Academy award is that it is also the award ceremony in the field of media. The AMPAS was conceived by Louis B. Mayer. The first Academy Award ceremony was held on May 16, 1929. The event took place in Hotel Roosevelt and honored outstanding achievements in the film industry during 1927 and 1928. Douglas Fairbanks and William C. DeMille hosted this event. This event was attended by an audience of around 270 people. Initially the awards were aired on radio and thereafter with the advent of television; the proceedings began to be aired on television. The academy awards feature a number of films from various genres. So, you will find Award winning documentaries, Best horror films, Tim McGraw movies, as well as top indie films.

Voting in regard to the awards is conducted by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has a voting membership of around six thousand people. Voters largely constitute actors, in regard to the composition. The votes are certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers. All the members are invited for the voting procedure, by the Board of Governors. New membership applications are considered on an annual basis. The membership is not revealed publicly.

When it comes to winning an academy award, campaigning plays a very important role. Although these days, Oscar campaigning is associated more or less with mudslinging campaigns, such a practice doesn't actually help. The idea in regard to such a campaign should focus on ensuring that all the members watch your movie. This would provide you with a fair chance. You may also go ahead promoting your movie on the newspapers, television and the internet, generating support and bringing it in the forefront.

As it is, the academy awards are definitely one of the most prestigious events. So, best of luck for your campaigning.
