Ooyala Sponsors Oscar Night Party: "A Night to Make a Difference"

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Ooyala is excited to be a sponsor of Leeza Gibbons' Oscar Night party - A Night
to Make a Difference. An event that will bring together stars from film,
television, music, sports, and fashion to celebrate the worlds of celebrity and
philanthropy. Leeza Gibbons, Olivia Newton-John and David Foster will host the
party, which will be held on the night of the Oscars.

This year, audiences everywhere will be able to experience the excitement via a
live webcast direct from the iconic Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills. Ooyala's
sophisticated video platform will power the high quality viewing experience for
all of the video on demand (VOD) content. The coverage will offer a detailed
look into one of Hollywood`s most glamorous evenings.

"The Academy Awards is the night when all of Hollywood takes center stage. We're
excited to be helping deliver their message of advocacy, philanthropy and
volunteerism via the Ooyala video platform," said Ooyala CEO, Bismarck Lepe.

Broadband continues to complement traditional on-air coverage. The live webcast
coupled with Ooyala's sophisticated playback technology, provide an opportunity
to increase viewership, engagement, and overall promotion of the event and its
purpose. Online video is a robust medium that can be accessed instantly and
ubiquitously. With Ooyala's adaptive-bit rate technology, viewers can enjoy HD
quality video using intelligent delivery that dynamically adjusts to accommodate
individual bandwidth levels. In addition to enjoying the excitement at Mr. Chow,
Web viewers will be able to contribute directly to the charities of their
choosing, via Jessica Biel's Make the Difference Network.

"This event is truly different from the others and one of the aspects I am most
excited about is the ability for viewers at home to be a part of the experience
via the webcast. Our hope is to inspire people to take action and knowing that
we are able to reach a broad audience on the Web means we truly have a chance to
help create the change presented by our on-camera Hollywood celebrities. Our
combination of being behind the scenes of movie's most glamorous night along
with its most passionate and purposeful stars, takes the gold for best new Web
idea!" said Leeza Gibbons.

The Night To Make A Difference takes place February 22, 2009, at Mr Chow, 344 N
Camden Drive in Beverly Hills. While watching the Oscars, guests will be treated
to a specially planned and prepared 10-course dinner featuring Mr. Chow`s world
