Film awards seasons
You know how sometimes when you do something that's really good, your parents give you a gold star or a sticker to say "good job"? Well, grown-ups who make movies and TV shows also want to get stickers, but instead of stickers, they get awards like trophies or statues made out of shiny metal.
Now, just like how you have to do your best all year round to get good grades on your report card, grown-ups who make movies and TV shows have to do their best all year round to get nominated for awards. These nominations are like being called up to the front of the classroom to get your sticker or gold star.
But just getting nominated isn't enough, because lots of other grown-ups also want to get stickers, so the people in charge of the awards have to pick the very best one out of all the nominees. This is called "winning" an award, and it's like getting an even bigger gold star or trophy to put on your shelf.
The time of year when everyone is hoping to get nominated and then win awards is called "awards season." It usually starts towards the end of the year, after all the movies and TV shows have been released, and can last all the way through February.
During awards season, grown-ups who make movies and TV shows go to fancy events called "ceremonies" where they all dress up in nice clothes and sit in a big room with lots of other people. There's usually a stage at the front of the room where someone reads out the nominees and then announces the winner.
Sometimes, the same people or movies keep getting nominated and winning awards at different ceremonies, and these are usually the ones that everyone thinks did the best job that year. Sometimes, people get really excited or upset about who wins or doesn't win, kind of like how you might feel when your best friend gets more stickers than you.
So that's awards season in a nutshell - it's a time of year when grown-ups who make movies and TV shows want to get stickers, and they all dress up and sit in a big room and wait to find out who the best one is.
