The 93rd Academy Award Ceremony is to be broadcast on Sunday, April 25.

"Oscar" is the name of the figure on the small statue, so people call the award "an Oscar."

This year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences nominated a diverse group of actors and movie professionals for awards.

Like others who came before them, they will give short speeches thanking those who helped them in their work.

In today's lesson, we will look at the language you will hear in those speeches.

If you ever have the honor of receiving an award, you can use this knowledge to make your own acceptance speech.

Let us start with how long the speech should last.

To be a member of the Academy, a person has to work in the production of movies released in theaters.

When a winner receives an award, they usually begin by thanking the Academy, moviemakers like themselves.

There is a time limit for Oscar acceptance speeches.
