Oscars app gives movie fans interactive Oscar Night experience

LOS ANGELES

It's now available online in the iTunes App Store. The official app of the Academy Awards gives movie fans the most exclusive, interactive Oscar Night experience ever.

Not only can you make your Oscar picks, you can even compete with friends on Facebook. On Oscar Sunday, users play along during the show and predict category winners ahead of the opening of the envelopes. The app will refresh and calculate your results as categories are won.

You can also access exclusive video, including a series on fashion hosted by Rachel Smith of "On the Red Carpet" (a KABC-TV production).

Using the app gives fans unprecedented access to live streams from exclusive cameras placed throughout the red carpet, the Kodak Theatre and the Governors Ball so you can go beyond the TV broadcast and watch more live Oscar action as its taking place.

The Academy and Disney/ABC Television Group's Digital Media Team designed the app.

The app is free and works on the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

You can download the Oscars app in the iTunes App Store.

Billy Crystal will return to host the 84th annual Academy Awards.

The awards ceremony will air live on Sunday, Feb. 26, 2012 on ABC7.
