81st Academy Awards Ceremony

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.
