movie Award

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Film awards are mostly given either at film festivals or by the film industry . Usually, it is used to award film artistic achievements . As the first award for a film was 1920 US -American Photoplay Award awarded.

But there are also film prizes for commercial success, such as the golden screen in Germany (for at least three million visitors to a film). In addition to films, awards are sometimes also given for the professional achievements that have contributed, e.g. B. supporting and leading actors , direction and camera work , scripts or the music of a film.

Film Industry Awards

By far the most famous film award of all is the American Academy Award , better known as the Oscar , which is awarded annually in numerous categories as part of a glamorous show event in Los Angeles . A few weeks earlier, Hollywood's foreign press presented the Golden Globe Awards , which usually point to the expected Oscar awards. In contrast, the Golden Raspberry awards the worst cinematic achievements of a year.

The European film award has been the European equivalent of the Oscars since 1988 , but its media charisma and level of awareness among the broader cinema audience are still below the US model for the time being.

The German Film Prize , well endowed by the German federal government , has seen a change in image and has been awarding a statuette named Lola since 1999 . The German Film Prize has been awarded by the members of the German Film Academy since 2005. There has been resistance to this allegedly commercially dominated approach to film art, which is expressed, among other things, in the Festival of German Film , which opposes the German Film Prize with the film art prize, which is to be awarded by a jury based on demanding artistic criteria.

Guild Awards

In the USA in particular, the prizes that are awarded annually by the so-called Guilds are also very popular, especially since those honored here are very often the later Oscar winners. In the respective guilds, only those people who are or were also active in the respective area give their votes. Many of the people who have been honored so often see this as a particularly great honor.

Some of the existing Guild Awards :

Festival prizes

While film industry awards usually rate all films in a year, film festivals only award their awards to the current films they have selected, most of which have not yet been evaluated in the cinema. While the Oscars are awarded by members of a film academy, festival prizes are awarded by international, often prominent juries. The international association of film critics ( Fédération Internationale de la Presse Cinématographique ) also awards the FIPRESCI Prize at the most important festivals .

The prices of the most important film festivals (" A-Festivals ") have a golden shimmer:
