The 85th Academy Awards are coming this Sunday and if you love watching the Oscars or you're looking to bring yourself up to speed with this year's selections, this is the app for you.
The Official Oscars app will be a must-have for those who want to get the most out of their Oscars experience.
Available for free on Android 4.0 phones in the Google Play Store and Amazon Appstore and the iPhone in iTunes , the app has many cool features to keep you occupied leading up to the event, including nominee information, movie trailers and exclusive videos and photos.
Another feature in the Oscars app is the My Picks game, where you can pick who you think will win an Oscar or show who you think should win.
Logging in with Facebook will let you compete with your Facebook friends to see who can get the most predictions right and results update in real time.
The app really comes to life on Oscar Sunday with "Backstage Pass." Over a dozen camera angles will be streaming backstage and on the red carpet.
While you have the choice of choosing which camera to watch with the app's "Direct Mode," you can also check out the Oscar's correspondents on "Watch Mode" to watch what the app says is "the ultimate Oscar Experience."
The Oscars app might help make this year's Oscars the most social one yet. If you're looking to get ready for the ready for the red carpet, this is the app to download.
The Oscars will air on ABC this Sunday 4 p.m. PST.
