BRIEF: Updated Oscars App Gives Interactive Oscar Night Experience


Jan 25, 2012 (KTLA-TV - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- This year's official Oscars App for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, which allows users to view and play along with the live telecast, is now available.



The updated app offers users several ways to view the event's live telecast.

Special cameras include the Backstage Cam -- featuring short interviews and behind-the-scenes footage; and Press Room Cam -- featuring winners in the press area.


The new app even has a "direct" mode which enables a viewer to adjust the camera angle.

Fans can also enjoy an interactive game called "Oscar My Picks," that keeps track of their Oscar predictions.

A pre-show feature offers access to awards buzz on Twitter and video from last year's show.

The 84th Academy Awards will be presented on Sunday, February 26, at the Kodak Theatre.
