Threads gives the Oscars a dedicated tab — whether you care about the awards or not.

My colleague Chris Welch spotted that the tab had been pinned to the top of his home screen in the iOS app, beckoning him to stick with Threads for the latest news on the awards show, which is starting in less than an hour at 7PM ET.

I don’t have it, but it’s not unusual for Threads to test the waters before rolling features out to everyone.
