Lights, cameras and action! The Oscars are finally here, with some
of the world's biggest stars, top filmmakers and powerful movie
industry executives gathering for Hollywood's annual celebration of
the silver screen.
This year marks the 88th annual edition of the Academy Awards.


The Academy Awards are arguably the most prestigious film
industry honour on the planet — just scoring an Oscar nod makes it into a person's obituary. An Oscar nomination (and, most assuredly,
a win) can change the course of a career. So it's understandable
that which individuals, teams or movies earn nominations become a
big deal.
