The Academy Awards ceremonies have been postponed 3 times: in 1938 due to flooding in Los Angeles, in 1968 for Martin Luther King Jr.'s funeral, and in 1981 after the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan. Two films hold the record for the most Oscar nominations without winning a single award: The Turning Point in 1977 and The Color Purple in 1985, both receiving 11 nominations. In 1989, producer Allan Carr introduced the phrase "And the Oscar goes to..." instead of "And the winner is..." during the telecast, a change that is still used today.
2. The Academy Awards are presented annually in February for the
artistic achievements of the previous year. It is for this reason
that—unless otherwise noted—all dates referenced throughout
the site refer to the year of awards eligibility (in most cases, the
year the film was released), not the year in which the awards
were presented (e.g.The 2015 Academy Awards will be held on
February 28, 2016).2006 Oscars took place on 5 March instead
of late February to avoid clashing with the X .The Oscars
usually take place on the last weekend in February.The academy
did the same thing in 2010.Repeating this thing in 2018 .WHY?

film festivals – is its combination of universal resonance and
personal authorship. In the former instance, it is an
emblematic tale of shattered faith in the American dream
