The Awards are granted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, a professional honorary organization which as of 2003 had a voting membership of 5816.
Academy Awards are nicknamed "Oscars", which is also the nickname of the statuette (the name is said to have been born when Academy librarian Margaret Herrick saw the statuette on a table and said: "It looks just like my uncle Oscar!").
The awards were first given at a banquet in the Blossom Room of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on May 16, 1929 but there was little suspense since the winners of the awards had already been announced three months earlier on February 18.

 76th Academy Awards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The big contenders for the 76th Academy Awards (for the best achievement in film in 2003) included The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and Lost in Translation, and in the highly competitive Best Actor category, strong work from Johnny Depp, Sean Penn and Bill Murray.
However, the bulk of Crystal's good-natured barbs--and the comments of many of the presenters and award recipients as well--were directed at Return of the King, which dominated an evening lacking in surprises.
Blake Edwards received the Honorary Academy Award for his work on such films as Breakfast at Tiffany's, Days of Wine and Roses, Victor/Victoria and the Pink Panther series.

True, it was last year's Grammy Awards show that first broke the ice in that regard, but the higher-profile Oscars not only boast a longer pedigree, but also command a significantly larger worldwide audience.
Greene is a veteran of both the Academy Awards and the Grammys, and he points out that a key difference between the shows is that the music mix at the Oscars is easier to control because the orchestra pit is stationary; at the Grammys, he has to contend with stage instrumentation that's constantly changing.
This time around, there were no significant audio hiccups at the Academy Awards; certainly nothing on the scale of the Celine Dion dead-microphone gaffe at the Grammys.

It was with the usual pomp that the nominees for the 76th Academy Awards were announced Tuesday, January 27, and the choices made by the various branches of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences hardly caused gasps of surprise among analysts.
However, the Academy members' tastes are notoriously conservative, and a fantasy film always starts the race a few kilometres behind its competitors.
Other Academy Award nominees in the best actor in a leading role category are second-time Oscar nominee Jude Law, fourth-time nominee Sean Penn, and previous winner Sir Ben Kingsley, so competition promises to be fierce.

Much to nobody's surprise, the big winner this year at the Academy Awards was Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
If you remember, there was a great big hubbub about 14 months ago, when the Academy announced that Shore would not be eligible for his score for The Two Towers, as the category is best ORIGINAL score, and the score had elements/themes from the score of the first Lord of the Rings film.
If the Academy had awarded it to best performance at the ceremony, it would have been between A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow (from A Mighty Wind) and Belleville Rendez-Vous (The Triplets of Belleville).
