Viewers Get To Control Academy Awards Action Online

It’s a hot year in Hollywood!

Natalie Portman, Colin Firth and many of the same names from the Palm Springs International Film Festival are nominated for the coveted Academy Award, this Sunday.

On a night when the stars go all out to look worthy of the Academy.. making the best dressed list may be just as big an accomplishment…

A cold weather system moving into Southern California just in time for the big night may force some actresses to think about layers.

You can be there – warm and toasty – without moving a muscle!

KESQ.com – along with ABC – want you to be able to be part of Academy Awards audience.

Click on the Academy Awards banner on KESQ.com, and choose to play along at home.

Make logging-in easy by synching your Facebook account information, and then sit back and let the experience begin as you’re cordially invited by the Academy to the 83rd Annual Academy Awards.

On Sunday, watch live coverage from the red carpet , while you have control of a 360-degree camera. Scan it wherever you want to see.

During the ceremony, go backstage to the VIP Room, watch the celebrities mingle during the commercials, and more!

As the ceremony progresses, or even before it starts, cast your vote for who you want to win in each category, and then watch it all unfold before your eyes.

It’s another way the ABC and KESQ.com are bringing another wow factor to the Academy Awards.
