This might seem a silly question but please bear with me - when people are about to receive music or film awards, they seem to be really surprised when they receive the award but if they can't make it there's a speech on video already prepared. That means that for some awards, the recipients must know in advance right? I hope that makes sense - someone in the know please help me out. Thanks.

I can't speak for the Oscars but I've been involved in several small scale awards and it is completely unknown for the winners to be told that they have won.
Natalie, these evenings are always attended by people who aren't on the list of nominees. They are the places to be seen; being on the list doesn't really come into it.
