"How is it possible that you don't know who I am?  I am really famous, and I have Mirfandas all over the world," said Miranda Sings, comic and actress. "Even though I probably could have been at the Oscars, I knew when zeebox offered me an opportunity to interact with my Mirfandas, and discuss all my Hollywood friends, who just don't know we're meant to be yet, that I couldn't miss it.  Plus, I want this night to be about the Oscars and wouldn't want to outshine all the nominees with my sparkly outfit and fabulous talent."

Together with her loyal fans Miranda will be hosting the official zeebox Oscars TV Room. The theme for the room and event will be 'Stalk The Oscars'.  Fans will have the ability to watch along with Miranda, chat live and get her exclusive video and photo 'reactions' around the events of the night.  Topics will likely include why she and said celebrity should be best friends, along with 'five reasons Ellen should come over after the awards and hang out with her.'  She will be asking her fans to get involved and share their ideas and celebrity obsessions, ensuring a truly fun, interactive and stalkerish evening.
