Periscope Would Like You to Reenact the Best Picture Nominees. But Please, No Bears

Plus, Twitter releases custom emojis and green room access

If Twitter doesn't create a custom emoji for a major event, did the event really happen?

Sunday's Oscars will likely garner the largest TV audience for an entertainment program this year, and with the #OscarsSoWhite controversy, Twitter figures to be a major part of the experience.

As it has done with seemingly ever major event recently, Twitter has created a custom emoji for the awards. Fans will unlock an image of the famed golden statue when using the hashtag #Oscars starting today.

The integration extends to Periscope as well.
