  Academy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One of the earliest academies established in the east was the 7th century Academy of Gundishapur in Sassanid Persia.
In the early 19th century "academy" took the connotations that "gymnasium" was acquiring in German-speaking lands, of school that was less advanced than a college (for which it might prepare students) but considerably more than elementary.
Academies proliferated in the 20th century until even a three-week series of lectures and discussions would be termed an "academy." In addition, the generic term "the academy" is sometimes used to refer to all of academia, which is sometimes considered a global successor to the Academy of Athens.

 CSIndy: Academy Awards Addendum (March 23 - March 29, 2000)
But this year's awards mark the beginning of a new era, a new century and the beginning of the end of predictability at the Academy Awards.
Of course, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences represents traditional Hollywood at its most revered -- professors emeritus of glitz and glamour who are still so enamored, as are we, with the accomplishments of the big studio/big star system of the previous century that to let go of that would feel like sacrilege.
So expect this year's awards to evoke nostalgia for the good old days that are surely and inevitably slipping away, out of the hands of the old elite and into the hands of a den of young lions who will turn the art form on its ear in years to come.
