Ever wished you could participate actively on the race to the Oscars? Now, it’s all possible thanks to the recently launched Oscars application courtesy of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. The application which could be availed for free gives users of iPhone and iTouch their own handy-dandy list of all the nominees for the night. Aside from this, users are given an exclusive inside dish on all the movies nominated. One can even watch trailers of all the 10 Best Picture nominees to gain more insight on who deserves to win the title. The most fun and interactive portion is the application’s offer of allowing users to create their own predictions on who they believe would take home the awards come Oscar night.
If you’re that person who has no time to look into the Oscars website or remember the complete list of nominees, then this application would work for your benefit. Now you can get an easy look at what other categories the worldwide blockbuster “Avatar” is up for. You can now also easily view the trailer for “Hurt Locker” to see why there’s so much buzz about it recently. Look back into how many times the “Julie & Julia” star Meryl Streep had been nominated before as well. With this easily accessible application, anticipating audiences are provided a comprehensive look at the race going into the main event.
Predictions previously made can easily be saved in a database to allow matching up with other users. One can easily share them with friends by e-mail, SMS, or on social networks. Come Oscar night, a user could look at his/her personal list and compare if their predictions were right on.
The 82nd Annual Academy Awards will be aired live on ABC on March 7.
