● In 1929, for the first time, the Academy Awards were given in Hollywood, USA.  These awards are also known as Oscar Awards or Oscars. The Academy Awards were held for the first time as a private function in Los Angeles, California. The first Best Actor award was given to Emil Jennings for his performances in The Last Command and The Way of All Flesh. He was to return to Europe before the ceremony and so the Academy agreed to give him the award first, making him the first Oscar Award winner in history. The Oscar Awards are still considered the most prestigious honor of cinema.
