Film award
Film award is a cinematic award which can be awarded in several categories. Unlike the film festival, the film award is not accompanied by a public screening of competitive films. Film awards are usually awarded based on the results of a secret voting of experts and less often on the results of the jury discussion.
Three most prestigious film awards
Academy Awards
Academy Awards, popularly known as "Oscar" — the award of the American Academy of cinema — is the most famous and prestigious award in filmmaking industry, both domestic and international. The first award ceremony "Oscar" was held in 1929. Now the Oscars ceremony is broadcast live in dozens of countries around the world. Unlike most film festivals, "Oscars" are awarded by the results of a General vote of the Academy members, and not by the choice of the jury. And such a democracy has brought this film a well-deserved popularity, though deprived of elitism.

The BAFTA award, which has become international, and the Golden globe award, the winners of which are chosen by members of the Hollywood foreign press Association, are a kind of dress rehearsal for Oscar, because in most cases they anticipate the voting results of members of the American Academy of cinema.
