This is going to be intense...
In theory, this is pretty impressive: for $4.99, ABC lets you stream the entire Academy Awards online, including the Red Carpet and backstage content. Even better, they claim that you'll be able to control the camera you're watching and its angle. This is probably accomplished by having essentially 360 degrees of camera coverage of the event at all times, allowing you to digitally zoom, rotate and switch angles through the interactive experience - trust me, you're not actually moving the cameras in the theater. I'll be checking it out tomorrow, as part of my multi-screen immersion into the event, but it will all come down to how good the stream and the user interface are.
Hope you join me in the real time conversation tomorrow. I'll be tweeting from @TarahFO.
Also, check out these apps that have been launched to accompany the show:
