Head on over to Oscar.com(in the link below) this evening will be treated to a few different live cameras that are freely available to everyone, but to really see to everything you’ll have to fork over $4.99 for the “all access” pass. That will give you access to a number of “exclusive viewing opportunities,” including multiple 360 degree cams that you can control, and numerous cameras along the red carpet, backstage, and at the Governors Ball afterwards. And if that’s not enough, you can also download the Oscar Backstage Pass app for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch — it’ll run you an additional $0.99.
