The Academy Awards are given out every year to recognize outstanding work of movie actors, directors, and others who are part of the movie-making industry. These awards, called Oscars,

are presented in a formal ceremony in Hollywood. Several people are nominated in specific

categories, such as Best Movie, Best Actor, Best Music, and Best Costumes. One nominee is

chosen to receive an award in each category. When the awards ceremony started in 1929, 15

awards were presented and the ceremony was attended by only 250 people. Tickets cost $10, and

anyone who could afford a ticket could attend. Today about two dozen Oscars are presented.

Tickets are no longer sold to the general public; invitations are sent only to people involved in

making the movies and to their guests. Today the awards are presented in the 3400-seat Kodak

Theatre in Hollywood. Until 1941, the winners’ names were already known before the ceremony

and published in newspapers the night before the ceremony. Now the winners’ names are placed

in sealed envelopes and the envelopes are not opened until the night of the ceremony. Since

1953, Oscar night has been televised and broadcast all over the world. This show is seen by

hundreds of millions of people. Viewers watch as their favorite movie stars arrive looking

beautiful and hopeful.

Stone, two or three feet thick, the door of wood and iron, a foot thick, and the iron grating which strained the light, i could not being struck with the foolishness of that institution which treated me as if i were mere flesh and blood and bones, to be locked up. i wondered that it should have concluded at length that this was the best use it could put me to, and had never thought to avail itself of my services in some way. i saw that, if there was a wall of stone between me and my townsmen, there was a still more difficult one to climb or break through before they could get to be as free as i was. i did not for a moment feel confined, and the walls seemed a great waste of stone and mortar. i felt as if i alone of all my townsmen had paid my tax. — “civil disobedience,” henry david thoreau based on this passage, how did thoreau feel about his confinement?
