[edit] Categories
Add categories for each Academy Awards ceremony article in the following format:
- [[Category:Academy Awards ceremonies]]
- [[Category:yyyy film awards|Academy Awards]]
Note that the second Category, yyyy is replaced by the year of film release on which the ceremonies were based. The annual film awards categories in Wikipedia were based on film release years, not the years each ceremony was held.
For example, the 75th Academy Awards ceremony was held in 2003, but awarded films released in 2002. Therefore, the categories for that article are:
- [[Category:Academy Awards ceremonies]]
- [[Category:2002 film awards|Academy Awards]]
