Oscar Red Carpet Fan Experience – Details on Bleacher Seats Tickets

As they do every year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is offering movie fans the chance to win a coveted seat in the bleachers at the 85th Academy Awards. The contest begins today and runs through Friday, November 16, 2012 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, with the entry process involving filling out an application at www.oscars.org/Insider.

In years past as many as 20,000 people have completed the application for a chance to win one of only 700 available bleacher seats that line the red carpet on Hollywood Blvd. The winners will be determined by a random drawing.

Winners will be able to take photos and cheer on Oscar nominees and other celebs as they make their way into the DolbyTheatre at Hollywood & Highland. The winners will also be allowed into a nearby theater to watch the Academy Awards and will receive an exclusive fan gift bag.

If you win, you will be expected to pay all of your own travel and hotel expenses. The 2013 Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, February 24, 2013.
