On Sunday, March 2, E! goes live from the heart of Hollywood with almost 10 hours of coverage at this year's Oscars. As award season comes to a close, this year's Oscar race is one of the most buzzed about in years and E!'s 20-plus cameras will bring fans closer to all the action as if they were actually on the carpet interviewing their favorite stars. E!'s on-camera team, led by Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic, will have the entire event covered with reporting from the network's exclusive headquarters inside the famed Roosevelt Hotel to the heart of all the A-list action from the star-studded red carpet. 

From the very first limo arrival to the last of the night's biggest after-parties, E! will bring fans all the stars, the gowns, the shoes and even the manicures, with the most comprehensive Oscar coverage on the planet. E!'s complete on-air coverage will be complemented by the network's digital, mobile and social platforms, highlighted by Eonline's livestream show hosted by Catt Sadler and Jesse Giddings as an added second screen experience. Throughout the entire day, E!'s updated "Live from the Red Carpet" and "Fashion Police" apps will once again lead the conversation throughout Oscar Sunday.
