The Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, represent a distinguished accolade for artistic and technical achievement in the American film industry. Widely acknowledged as the most esteemed and significant awards in the entertainment sector within the United States, they are presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS).

The awards aim to recognize excellence in cinematic accomplishments, primarily within American films, as evaluated by the Academy's voting membership. Recipients of the various categories are presented with a trophy in the form of a golden statuette, officially named the "Academy Award of Merit," commonly referred to as the "Oscar." The statuette features a knight figure created in the Art Deco style, initially sculpted by Los Angeles artist George Stanley based on a design sketch by art director Cedric Gibbons.
