The Oscars? Yeah, there’s an app for that

With award season in full swing in Hollywood, it only makes sense that we’d see some new Oscar-themed offerings in the iPhone’s app store. And Redwind Software has three new ones out that should keep movie lovers happy.  

"The Oscars Guide" and "The Razzies Guide" are now available for download for free.

Both offer comprehensive histories of the awards shows that celebrate the best – and worst – Hollywood has to offer. All award categories are included and each has a robust search engine.

Aalso available from Redwind is “Movies Challenge: Oscars Special”. The app is a good one for trivia buffs, featuring over 2,000 questions about the Oscars in six game types. Players can also try to predict this year’s winners for the chance for a $100 credit on iTunes.

The games are officially sanctioned by the Academy, so there’s no chance of a copyright suit squashing them before the big night.
