IMDb’s nearly five-hour live show will begin at approximately 5
PM Pacific on Sunday, February 26, and will focus on a fun,
freewheeling conversation during which Dave Karger, Rachel Smith,
celebrity guests and industry influencers will provide informative
expert commentary to complement and enhance the experience of
watching the Academy Awards telecast. IMDb’s live show will feature
celebrity guests and will also integrate IMDb information and
proprietary, real time data, along with pre-produced interviews
with nominees Justin Timberlake and Jeff Bridges.
IMDb’s live show will be simulcast and promoted by two of the
industry’s live video leaders, Twitter and Twitch
(http://twitch.tv/twitch). Twitter’s live stream of IMDb’s Live
Viewing Party will be available globally for free to logged-in and
logged-out users on Twitter and connected devices. Tweets about the
#Oscars will appear in a timeline along with the live video on
Twitter, available at imdb.twitter.com, in Twitter’s explore tab or
via @IMDb. Exclusive to Twitch is the ability to create a
personalized social experience by letting streamers “co-stream” the
show on their channels. This allows them to broadcast it directly
to their own communities with their own commentary.
IMDb’s editorial coverage of the 89th Academy Awards will
include real-time winner announcements, photo galleries, trivia
quizzes and more.
“This year we are taking our coverage of the Academy Awards to
an entirely new level,” said Col Needham, IMDb’s founder and CEO.
“In addition to our extensive online coverage, we’ll be producing
our first-ever VIP industry viewing party and companion show, which
will stream live across the world on IMDb, Twitter and Twitch. We
are thrilled that IMDb’s live coverage of The Academy Awards, a
unique mix of expert commentary, humor and IMDb data will also
serve as Twitter’s Oscars-night broadcast and that Twitch users can
personalize and share our live show as well.”
"Twitter is where people go to see what's happening in real time
around the Academy Awards," said Anthony Noto, COO at Twitter. "Our
collaboration with IMDb will provide live commentary from both
experts and fans throughout the telecast, as well as interviews
with some of Hollywood's best.”
“We believe new OREO Chocolate Candy bars are so delicious they
are award-worthy,” said Samantha Greenwood, Senior Category
Director, Chocolate – North America at Mondelēz International. “On
Hollywood’s biggest night we are excited to team up with IMDb to
showcase our big news and help deliver a memorable viewing
experience to consumers.”
