Each week after that, Lazar and company will be producing special shows bringing together previous Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor (and Actress), Best Director, and Best Picture winners to share their favorite movie moments and journey in the world of film.
“Our goal with Oscar.com is to make sure fans are having a really full, immersive experience leading up to, during and after the Oscars
,” Karin Gilford, Senior Vice President of Digital Media at ABC.com, told Tubefilter. “Oscar Dailies will showcase insider perspectives that only the Academy and ABC can share, as well as unique and interesting insights from fans and influencers across the social media landscape. This first show is off to a great start with a diverse group of people who I know will have a lot of fun talking about the nominations.”In previous years the Oscars have taken efforts to enhance their digital cred with “viral” promotional spots, the Road To The Oscars series, and the pay-per-view Oscar All Access livestream.
