iPad, iPhone and iPod touch users can get the ultimate insider's view of the 83rd Annual Academy Awards(R) with the new Oscar Backstage Pass App, now available on the App Store. The Oscar Backstage Pass app, a collaborative effort between the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and Disney/ABC TV Group's Digital Media team, is the perfect companion app for viewers watching the Oscar telecast on Sunday, February 27th.

"Together with the Academy, we're excited to be able to lower the 'velvet rope' and offer viewers new ways to be a part of Hollywood's biggest night. We wanted to offer an experience to viewers that allows them to feel like they're there with their favorite nominees and be able to see the stars mingle at this prestigious event."
