The project

The Academy Awards is the most prestigious award given to members of the film industry in Hollywood who have shown outstanding performance during the year. Be it actors, actresses, directors or cinematographers, every aspect of a film is studied and the most talented are awarded in this ceremony. The voting process is managed by Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) whose members are responsible for choosing the winners for every category.

The solution

To create a database of all the categories and nominations of this year's Oscar nominees and make a creative portal where the Academy members can vote for their favourites with the click of a button!

How can we do this?

We will first create a web poll form using some HTML code. This poll will have a form and a results panel. The form will have a list of radio buttons that will hold the different categories and the nominees.

Category : Best Picture
Black Panther
Bohemian Rhapsody
The Favourite
A Star is Born

We need to create a database of all the categories and their nominations using Firebase We need to make a new file using Realtime Databases which will look like this :

The database will have the following data for example for Lead Actor : Name of the Actor, Name of the Film and so on. The Firebase Database will then have to be linked with the help of a code:

The database can be updated using the set method after the Awards ceremony is over to record different types of information about every film including the poster, name, lead actor, director etc.

The database can then be updated after the ceremony to display which films, actors, directors and musicians won and which did not. We can further go on to see how many awards were won per film including all the categories of the event. This information can be used by the Academy to present the information in the following day after the ceremony is over as a recap or highlights of the event.
