The first Best Actor awarded was [[Emil Jannings]], for his performances in ''[[The Last Command (1928 film)|The Last Command]]'' and ''[[The Way of All Flesh (1927 film)|The Way of All Flesh]]''.
For the first six ceremonies, the eligibility period ran from 1 August to 31 July. The 6th Academy Awards' eligibility ran from 1 August 1932 to 31 December 1933, and as of the [[7th Academy Awards]], subsequent eligibility periods have matched the calendar year (with the exception of the [[93rd Academy Awards]], which, due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], extended the eligibility period to 28 February 2021).<ref name="history"/>

The major awards are presented at a live televised ceremony, commonly in late February or early March following the relevant calendar year, and six weeks after the announcement of the nominees. It is the culmination of the film awards season, which usually begins during November or December of the previous year. This is an elaborate extravaganza, with the invited guests walking up the red carpet in the creations of the most prominent fashion designers of the day. [[Black tie]] dress is the most common outfit for men. Fashion may dictate not wearing a [[bow-tie]], and musical performers are sometimes not required to adhere to this. The artists who recorded the nominees for Best Original Song quite often perform those songs live at the awards ceremony, and the fact that they are performing is often used to promote the television broadcast.

By that time, the television rights to the Academy Awards had been sold in 50 countries. In 1980, the rights were sold to 60 countries, and by [[56th Academy Awards|1984]], the

Some years, the ceremony is moved into the first Sunday of March to avoid a clash with the [[Winter Olympic Games]].

{{See also|Carol (film)#Oscar category}}
The Academy has no rules for how to categorize whether a performance is leading or supporting, and it is up to the discretion of the studios whether a given performance is submitted for either Best Actor/Actress or Best Supporting Actor/Actress. This has led to situations where a film has two or more co-leads, and one of these is submitted in a supporting category to avoid the two leads competing against each other, and to increase the film's chances of winning. This practice has been derisively called "category fraud".<ref name="liveabout_com">{{cite web | url=https://www.liveabout.com/difference-between-lead-and-supporting-actor-2428097 | title=How Lead and Supporting Actor Oscars Are Determined | access-date=March 17, 2023 | archive-date=December 9, 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221209195446/https://www.liveabout.com/difference-between-lead-and-supporting-actor-2428097 | url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="polygon_com">{{cite web | url=https://www.polygon.com/22399802/oscars-category-controversy | title=The Oscars need to fix the Supporting Actor category | website=[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]] | date=April 25, 2021 | access-date=March 17, 2023 | archive-date=October 21, 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221021002529/https://www.polygon.com/22399802/oscars-category-controversy | url-status=live}}</ref>
For example, [[Rooney Mara]] was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for ''[[Carol (film)|Carol]]'' (2015), despite her having a comparable amount of screentime to [[Cate Blanchett]], who was nominated for Best Actress. Another example is ''[[Once Upon a Time in Hollywood]]'' (2019), where [[Brad Pitt]] was nominated for and won Best Supporting Actor, even though he played an equally important role to Best Actor nominee [[Leonardo DiCaprio]]. In both these cases, critics argued that [[The Weinstein Company]], the studio behind the former film, had placed someone who was actually a leading actor or actress into the supporting categories to avoid them competing against their co-lead.<ref
