0 I think that when we refer to the awards ceremony, we use the plural: the Oscars are over for the year; the Oscars are the greatest party on earth. Other than the fact that 'are' sounds better next to Oscar01u 01b 00s02b 02u 00, there is no logic to this: I just think that's what we do. However, winning an Oscar 01b 00is02b 00 the pinaccle of an actor's career.
