Who is actually behind the Oscars?
The Academy Awards are organized every year by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). Almost 9,500 AMPAS members vote on the Oscars (via Vanity Fair). They come from all over the world and from different professional sectors of the film industry.
Unlike a film festival, for example, there is no jury at the Oscars, but rather several thousand people who vote on the nominations and winners of the Academy Awards in a complex election process.
