Chairman Shiro Kido of Shochiku and others had been looking for an event of that kind for several years before the company was founded, but it was difficult due to lack of financial outlook. After that, Dentsu took the lead and arranged Nippon TV for the broadcasting station . With the cooperation of four major Japanese film companies and people in the industry centered on Toei President Shigeru Okada , the first event was held in three months.

The main sources of operating expenses are the contributions of each movie company and the broadcasting rights fees for the awards ceremony. The British Academy Award is one of the similar film awards . France of César Award is also something that has been founded an Academy Award as a reference, but the format of "goodwill division" is not taken.

Unlike many other movie awards in Japan, the Japan Academy Awards have not only award for work, director, screenplay and actor, but also technical category.

Award Summary[]

The selection of the awards will be done by voting by members of the Japan Academy Awards Association. The Japan Academy Awards Association is made up of film professionals from Japan. Members are given free pass privileges at major cinemas. The number of members was about 1200 at the end of December 1980, but as of 2007 it has reached 4000 to 5000.

The films subject to selection are films released in Tokyo from December of the year before to December of the previous year. It used to be from January to December of the previous year, but at the same time that the Honke Academy Award was held from the end of March to the end of February, the timing of the award was accelerated and the target The release period of Naru is also advanced.

There are 15 categories of prizes to be awarded, and there are also new actor awards. The excellent prize of the regular prize (corresponding to the nomination) and the new actor award are selected by voting (all members of the association), and among them, for the regular prize, the highest prize is selected by voting (all members of the association). Although he has not been nominated for an excellent work award for a long time , the " Princess Mononoke " in 1998 won the best work award for the first time.

Award-winning work[]

The Japan Academy Awards have a special significance as a movie award selected by the movie industry itself, and at the same time, have a rarity as a movie award that has a staff category award. Although it is a newly launched movie award among domestic movie awards, it has the eventality of announcing the highest award at the award ceremony for the first time, and due to the influence of the Japan Academy Awards Association, the sponsor that supports it, in recent years , Is improving its position in the movie industry.

However, the Japan Academy Awards Association, which selects awards, includes people such as film directors and actors, but 30% of them are affiliated companies of the Japan Film Makers Federation (Eiren), namely four companies : Shochiku , Toho , Toei , and Kadokawa Film. It is composed of employees of its affiliated companies. Therefore, when selecting the Excellence Award, it is said that the works produced or distributed by the above four companies will be advantageous, and the chance of selecting works distributed by other movie companies is low.

Also, it is difficult for about 4000 Academy members to see all the major works. Therefore, unlike the movie awards, which are judged by a small number of selection committees, the fact that they do not leave a certain level of box office income may not even be the subject of evaluation by members. Therefore, small-scale screenings such as single-story exhibitions will have to be distressed.

As a result of these, the directors and their works with a large track record and their works, the prizes are heavily weighted on the actors, and the tendency that works that have gained popular support and at the same time have a high reputation in the content monopolize the main category awards. Is strong.

Award Ceremony Broadcast[]

The Nippon Academy Award has been broadcast by Nippon Television, which has the right to broadcast, consistently since the first episode (1978). Initially, it was broadcast live by terrestrial broadcasting, but after that, it was broadcast by a combination of recording and live broadcasting.

In addition, after the establishment of "All Night Nippon Topic Award" in 1980 (3rd), "All Night Nippon" ( Nippon Broadcasting Co. , Ltd. ) formed a special program to broadcast the award ceremony at midnight.

Then it seems that there is no particular coverage restrictions for other affiliated stations other than Nippon Television, and the award ceremony video is normally used in the information program broadcast the next morning.
