Listen to a radio programme about the cinema and answer the questions.

Answer

  1. The Golden Globes and the Oscars are annual awards ceremonies that typically take place in the early months of the year. The Golden Globes are usually held in January, while the Oscars, officially known as the Academy Awards, are typically held in late February or early March.
  2. The Golden Globes are organized by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which is composed of international journalists based in Southern California. The members of the HFPA choose the winners through a vote.
  3. The Golden Globes have various categories, including both film and television. The number of categories can vary, but as of my knowledge cutoff in January 2022, there are typically around 25 categories.
  4. The Academy Awards, or Oscars, have a total of 23 categories. These categories cover various aspects of filmmaking, including acting, directing, writing, and technical achievements.
  5. The Oscars are often considered more prestigious than the Golden Globes because the Academy Awards are presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, an organization made up of professionals working in the film industry. The Oscars are seen as a recognition by peers within the industry, and winning an Oscar is considered a significant achievement in the world of filmmaking.
  6. The Oscar ceremony is broadcast internationally, and people from around the world can watch it. The exact number of countries that can tune in may vary, but the broadcast typically has a global reach, making it a widely watched event.
