Oscar revealed: Want to hear Cameron Crowe’s thoughts on winning an Oscar or see how king-sized movie posters are assembled? How about a sneak peek at some of the exclusive exhibitions held at the film academy’s Beverly Hills headquarters?

It’s all at Oscars.org, the newly revamped Web site of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which officially launched Tuesday.

“There’s something there for just about everybody.” said the Academy’s executive administrator Ric Robertson.

Learn about the academy’s vast film and script archives, discover educational programs for young filmmakers, glimpse artwork from upcoming academy exhibitions (Fellini’s sketches are on view now) and meet the people who vote on the Oscars via video.

Oscar even has his own YouTube page and there’s a link to that. You can also receive automated Oscar trivia questions each day from now until the Academy Awards are presented Feb. 22.

Check in at www.oscars.org and check it out.
