Watch Academy Awards 2012 Online Live-Streaming Red Carpet
D. Zhea | Feb 23, 2012
How to watch this year's Academy Awards online? Well, the 2012 Oscar
ceremony will not be officially live-streamed online. Videos, photos,
and interviews will be posted at the 2012 Oscars' official website. Those generally feature red-carpet, behind-the-scenes, and/or post-Oscarcast interviews. Dave Karger should once again be the Oscar ceremony 2012's official red-carpet greeter. (Oscar iPad/iPhone apps can be downloaded here.)
At this time, it's unclear whether the Academy will be live-streaming
red-carpet arrivals. In case they do, you'd likely find it here.
You can also watch Oscar 2012 red carpet arrivals at E! Live from the Red Carpet. Beginning at 5:30 ET / 2:30 PT, Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic will be hosting a three-hour Oscar marathon featuring the nominated movies, red-carpet arrivals and perhaps some departures as well. Additionally, E! will have an Oscar Red Carpet Online Livestream in a "companion show" hosted by Ross Matthews and Kristina Guerrero starting at 5:15 p.m. ET / 2:15 PT. (Red carpet iPhone and iPad apps can be downloaded here.)
Now, several sites such as ustream.tv, tv.com, livestream.com, rentadrone.tv, and Justin.tv may offer user-generated live-streams of the 2012 Oscar ceremony. Bear in mind that those will be of poor quality. You'll be watching someone else's TV through a video camera.
