Oscar al millor actor

L' Oscar al millor actor és una de les categories dels Premis Oscar que anualment entrega l'Acadèmia de les Arts i les Ciències Cinematogràfiques a Los Angeles, Califòrnia. El premi reconeix a l'actor que ha efectuat la millor interpretació principal de tota la indústria cinematogràfica. Els actors són nominats pels membres de l'Acadèmia que també són actors però, els guanyadors surten elegits dels vots de tots els membres de l'Acadèmia. Amb el sistema actual, un actor és nominat per una representació específica d'una sola pel·lícula i tals nominacions estan limitades a cinc per any.

Història

En els últims 82 anys, l'Acadèmia ha otorgat un total de 82 Premis al Millor Actor Principal a 75 actors diferents. Els guanyadors d'aquesta categoria reben la familiar estatueta daurada Oscar, que representa a un cavaller armat amb una espasa esperant dempeus sobre un rotlle de pel·lícula de cinc radis. Cada radi simbolitza una de les cinc branques originals de l'Acadèmia: actors, guionistes, directors, productors i tècnics. El primer guanyador va ser Emil Jannings, l'any 1928, amb les seves interpretacions a The Last Command i The Way of All Flesh. L'últim guanyador ha estat Colin Firth, l'any 2010, amb la seva participació a El discurs del rei.
