ABC will do a live red carpet show from 3:00 to 5:00 PM PT (6:00 to 8:00 PM ET) at Oscar.com. ABC’s reporters will ask arriving celebrities questions submitted by FacebookFacebook users, and you’ll be able to chat with your Facebook friends about the event as it happens.
The coverage will continue with backstage cameras after the ceremony starts. There will also be a “Thank You Cam” on which award winners will share extended comments and thanks after they’ve left the stage. That way, even if they’re driven off stage by a swelling orchestra warning them that they’re in danger of cutting into advertiser time, they’ll still have a chance to thank everyone they know!
There’s no embeddable video yet, but if Oscar.com adds one we’ll add it to this page.
The AP and Livestream will also do live video coverage of celebrity arrivals on the red carpet via an embeddable video widget. The widget is called AP Live; it displays TwitterTwitter and Facebook updates about the Oscars, and you can update your own profiles without leaving the page.
You can watch AP Live at Livestream, Facebook, and a few other places, including AT&T Entertainment. Or you can watch it right here on MashableMashable, as it’s embedded above. Your call!
