Just in time for the 84th Academy Award nominations, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences is rolling out a digital campaign, entitled "Celebrate the Movies." Starting Monday, iconic moments from 84 films in Oscar history will be showcased online and on digital billboards in New York and Los Angeles. Fans can view digital images at Oscar.com and at YouTube.com/Oscars. Film fanatics can also share their favorite movie-going experiences using social media.
