How to follow along with the Oscars from your iPhone or iPad

The 2013 Oscars are right around the corner and if you can't crash in front of your tv to see all the action live, your iPhone or iPad is a great way to keep up to date with what's happening. From the official Oscars app to third party apps, there's something for everyone.

Oscars

The official 2013 Oscars app is designed for both iPhone and iPad is a great companion app for keeping up with what you can expect on Sunday. Before hand you will get access to nominee lists, movie trailers, photos, and more. There's even a game called Your Picks that lets you plot out who you think will win come Sunday. You can then share those predictions with all your friends and compare.

On actual event day, the Oscars app for iPhone and iPad will give you exclusive video content such as access to the red carpet, backstage passes, and more. You'll also see who's winning what which makes for a great way to keep up if you're out and about and unable to watch the show live.

Awards Hero: Oscars Edition

If you're excited for the Oscars or just want to know more about the nominees, Awards Hero: Oscars Edition is a great find. You'll have access to all the nominees and be allowed to pick your favorites and share them with friends.

The coolest feature of Awards Hero is the amount of background information you get on all the nominees. You can also view tons of historical information on past Oscars awards shows which can help you kill time before this year's show. This one's also compatible with both iPhone and iPad.

E! Live from the Red Carpet
