The Oscar app, created by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and ABC Digital, aims to be the go-to app for users, bringing you everything from streaming video on the red carpet down.

Users can view a list of the winners, watch videos and see photos, as well as catch a glimpse of the nominees  hob-knobbing backstage and on the red carpet.

The app supports more than a dozen video streams so you can follow along; select "Watch" mode to view ABC's correspondents and keep you up-to-date on the Oscar action, or select "Direct" mode and choose the cameras you wish to view. As an added bonus, you can navigate to award-worthy recipes from "The Chew" for the perfect Oscar-party cocktail and snacks, and cast your vote for winners through the "My Picks" option. (available on iOS, Android, Kindle)
