Oscar the Academy Award statuette is recognized internationally as the most prestigious American award of the film industry; it is conferred annually for superior achievement in up to twenty-five technical and creative categories. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is a professional honorary organization with membership by invitation only, extended by its Board of Governors to distinguished contributors to the arts and sciences of motion pictures. The first Oscar winners received their Awards in 1929. In its history, only three films in the movies list that have swept all five of the most important Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Writing. It Happened One Night first accomplished this feat in 1934 and was voted the best for director Frank Capra, actress Claudette Colbert, actor Clark Gable, and writer Robert Riskin. Over forty years later, in 1975, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest swept the Awards for director Milos Forman, actress Louise Fletcher, actor Jack Nicholson, and writers Lawrence Hauben and Bo Goldman. In 1991 The Silence of the Lambs became the third film ranked to achieve this landmark for director Jonathan Demme, actress Jodie Foster, actor Anthony Hopkins, and writer Ted Tally.
Palme d'Or ("Golden Palm") is the most prestigious award given out at Cannes Film Festival for the best film. The highest prizes at Cannes, especially the Golden Palm, are considered the most prestigious of all motion-picture honors with the possible exception of the Academy Awards.
Golden Globe Awards are given annually by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Motion picture awards include 15 categories such as Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Foreign Language Film and Best Animated Feature Film. Golden Globe Awards Ceremony is one of the most-watched movie award shows behind only the Oscars.
Metascore by Metacritic and Tomatometer by Rotten Tomatoes are the most famous critics review aggregators. IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes are the most popular sites with user polls and reviews also listing top 100 and top 250 movies considered the best.
