1.List at least 3 things you've learned since you started working on your senior project.
1. The Academy is really the American Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, and the Academy is not only the oldest ceremony in media but it was created by MGM boss Louis B. Mayer.
2. The first award winners were notified three months in advance, that then changed in 1930, when newspapers were given advance copies of the winners list to publish. In 1940, the announcement method was once again changed, after the Los Angeles Times published the winners early. Since 1941, the Academy has used the sealed envelope.
3. Starting in 1950, the Oscar statuettes have been legally encumbered by the requirement that neither the winners, nor the statue's heirs, may sell the statue without first offering to sell it back to the academy for $1. Oddly enough, this agreement does not extend to the other seven awards presented by the Academy.
4. To date, Walt Disney is the only person to win multiple Academy Awards in a single year, 1953 with 4 wins.
