"We are delighted to have IMDb with us as a presenting sponsor
for the second time at our most important fundraising event of the
year,” said David Furnish, Chairman of the Elton John AIDS
Foundation. “Having IMDb LIVE inside the party means that a new
audience can join us for one of the most exciting nights in
Hollywood and learn more about our mission to break down the stigma
and discrimination around HIV for LGBT communities around the
world.”
“We are thrilled to once again give users across the globe an
insider’s view of the legendary Elton John AIDS Foundation party
while raising awareness for a critically important cause,” said Col
Needham, IMDb Founder & CEO. “IMDb is committed to providing
entertainment fans with the most comprehensive data on all of this
year’s nominees, including Sir Elton John, who is an Academy Award
nominee this year for Best Original Song. The new features we’ve
recently launched on our homepage will ensure our customers have
all of the information they need to discover and determine what to
watch all year long.”
The IMDb enhanced homepage will help customers worldwide
discover and decide what to watch during awards season and
throughout the year. The new IMDb homepage on IMDb.com and the IMDb
iOS mobile app showcases the latest videos, top trending movie and
TV titles from around the world, personalized movie and show
recommendations, streaming picks, movie showtimes, TV listings,
award winners and box office results. To receive personalized

Hosted coverage during the IMDb LIVE broadcast will take place
before, after, and during breaks in the Oscars telecast. IMDb does
not broadcast the awards ceremony itself – while the program is in
progress, the hosted conversation stops and IMDb delivers a “second
screen” experience featuring videos, information and IMDb and
IMDbPro trivia related to the Oscar nominees currently being
celebrated. Co-hosts Aisha Tyler and Dave Karger will break down
their top choices from the Oscar-nominated films that would make
for the “Best Movie Night Ever” presented by M&M’S Chocolate
Candies. At-home viewers will get a sneak peak of M&M’S®
debut commercial for M&M’S Messages and party guests will also
enjoy the newest treats provided by M&M’S. The M&M’S you
know and love are getting a new look on pack to encourage people to
celebrate, connect and find humor in life’s everyday moments
through the voices of the beloved spokescandies. As a part of the
M&M’S Messages program, the brand is launching 36
uniquely-themed packages with messages ranging from, “You make mama
proud,” to “Congrats on that thing you did,” and “I love being
socially awkward with you.” M&M’S has a saying for every
person, feeling and occasion. In addition to the new Messages
featuring everyday occasions, the brand is giving fans a chance to
get their hands on an exclusive M&M’S Messages-themed
entertainment box for Hollywood’s biggest night – M&M'S
Messages Party Box: Red Carpet Edition.
