The Associated Press reporting effort for the 81st Annual Academy Awards on Sunday will include an online Oscars interactive, featuring live video, photos, stories and blogger feeds.

The site, which went live on Feb. 15, currently features pre-Oscars coverage.

The AP is offering video clips to newspaper, broadcast and other media Web sites, including "Road to the Oscars" reports, as well as a series of preview packages, with nominee interviews, critics' predictions, red carpet setup updates and features on all major Oscar-related events. Video feeds during the night of the Oscars will include celebrity arrivals, fashion wraps, show highlights and interviews and after-parties.

The interactive runs through March 8. The streaming feature is set to begin at 6 p.m. EST on the day of the Oscars. Video highlights from the show will be posted immediately following the Academy Awards broadcast, and will be available until March 2.--Tanya Irwin
