Vanity Fair releases Oscar predictions app
Film fans everywhere will be sitting before their TVs on March 7th to catch the Academy Awards. Now, as with so many other things, there's an app for that.
Vanity Fair Magazine has produced the free Oscars app called Vanity Fair Hollywood. Users can submit their predictions for winners, browse photo galleries, share comments and prediction results via Facebook and more. Of course, you can chat in real time during the show itself from within the app and watch trailers of the nominated films. I'm not an Oscars fan, but I often fire up Twitter when watching my beloved Red Sox because the accompanying chat makes the experience more fun.
For more iPhone fun on Oscar night, check out these apps:
- The Envelope (Free) Try and predict the winners and share results with your friends.
- Awards: Oscar Edition ($0.99) Search for winners and nominees in all categories quickly, search award histories and get up-to-date information and results.
- The Adademy Awards Bible ($2.99) lists all 850 Academy Award winners, organized by name, title, category, etc. It's quite the mobile tome for Oscar bufffs.
- Oscar Pool 2010 ($0.99) Invite your friends to bet on who will win. Create a profile, add photos and more.

You missed The Oscar's Guide which is free but doesn't have info on this year's nominees.

You also missed "Movie Challenge: Oscars® Special" which includes "The Oscars® Guide" aswell as functionality to predict this years winners and the chance to win $100 doing so.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id302689128?mt=8 is the link... or just search for Oscars in iTunes... it's the first result (for a reason)
jjc, an update is pending with Apple at the moment that includes all of this years winners. Considering the app is free I think its worth getting as opposed to the ones recommended here ($2.99 WTF!!!) and ($0.99 wtf?)

Do not download The Academy Awards Bible. Please take it off this list because it is so terrible and unusable. Seriously, it's a waste of money.
