Viewers Will Not Miss A Moment During Awards Season
It is awards season, and that means music, film, television and theatre stars are walking down red carpets to celebrate the entertainment industry.
From December through to March each year, entertainment industries of all kinds hand out awards during glamorous ceremonies that are broadcast live on television in countries around the world.
From the Academy Awards, or Oscars, in Hollywood, to the BAFTA’s in London, the film industry sees their prestigious work celebrated in front of crowds of celebrities – as well as millions of people watching from home. The infamously long Academy Awards are held in Los Angeles, California, and are often considered the most important ceremony for actors on the silver screen.
The British film industry holds their own awards in February, where actors, directors and film crews are celebrated. The results of the BAFTA’s are often considered an influence on who wins Academy Awards. Both ceremonies draw in huge ratings, as movie fans root for their favourite films and tune in to watch the impressive large-scale production of the event.
Film and television lovers also have the chance to see all their favourite stars under one roof when the Golden Globe Awards air from Hollywood. Each year, millions of people tune into the live broadcast from American channels – including red carpets interviews and all the acceptance speeches. The Golden Globes feature awards for television and film productions – drawing fans of both mediums to watch the show.
But it’s not only screen stars in the spotlight. Music awards including the Grammy Awards and Brit Awards are also broadcast live to music fans across the world during the hectic awards season. In 2009, the Brit Awards drew 5.2m viewers, who tuned in to watch the performances and check out some of the year’s best music.
Even stage actors have their go, with the Annual Tony Awards being held in New York near the end of March. Big names in the world of music and film attend the Tony’s, which often boast some of the best performances during award ceremonies throughout the year.
Entertainment fans in the UK can find it difficult to see all the best award show moments due to time differences and airing schedules. That’s why digital TV recorders, like Sky Boxes, can help capture all the moments, making them ready to watch whenever’s convenient. Digital recorders including the Sky+ box can take away the hassle of tapes and recording – meaning all fans have to worry about is catching their favourite stars.
