Vanity Fair Hollywood: Oscars® Edition App

This year, Vanity Fair has a week long “Campaign Hollywood” (which we will tell you more about as it happens next week) and will be accompanied by the new Vanity Fair Hollywood: Oscars® Edition app for the iPhone and iPad. This tool will give updates of the nominees, parties and other tidbits between now and the Academy Awards next Sunday February 27th, 2011.

Users can also follow V.F.’s Twitter feed from inside the party and get all the dish on who’s hanging with whom.
