The infinity of the Pacific Ocean: It makes up almost a third of the earth's surface. The inhabitants are constantly looking for food and shelter. There are only a few places of refuge in this water desert and yet here - in the infinite blue - there is an oasis. Halfway between America and Australia lies the Tuamotu Archipelago, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. "Tuamotu" could be translated as "The Distant Islands". The archipelago, consisting of 76 atolls, is difficult to reach and far away from any trade routes.

The story of the gold-plated statuette that became the film industry's most coveted prize, AND THE OSCAR GOES TO... traces the history of the Academy itself, which began in 1927 when Louis B. Mayer, then head of MGM, led other prominent members of the industry in forming this professional honorary organization. Two years later the Academy began bestowing awards, which were nicknamed "Oscar," and quickly came to represent the pinnacle of cinematic achievement.
