On February 25, 2013 top morning talk show "LIVE with Kelly and Michael" returns to Hollywood for the show's second post-Oscar broadcast, just hours after the 85th Academy Awards presentation comes to a close. But this time, "LIVE" wants to bring along one lucky group of girlfriends for all the glitz and glamour with "Girls Night Out: Oscar Edition."

"LIVE" has treated past "Girls Night Out" winners to fabulous evenings in Las Vegas and New York City, and now it's on to star-studded Hollywood, Calif. The search is on to find a group of friends in need of time away from work, kids and the home front. The winners will enjoy a five-night stay in one of Los Angeles' hottest hotels, an exciting night on the town with Kelly Ripa, and $2,500 in spending money. But that's not all - the winning ladies also will be treated like A-Listers with exclusive seats at the legendary Oscar red carpet, and VIP tickets for "LIVE's After Oscar Show."

Details about the contest are available on "LIVE's" website, www.LIVEKellyandMichael.com.

Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2012 will be presented on Sunday, February 24, 2013, at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center, and televised live on the ABC Television Network. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 225 countries worldwide.
