by Tracy Swedlow

TV Guide Network on Monday announced two new initiatives which it says will make its 2010 award-season live red-carpet telecasts "more fun, fashionable and interactive for the fans at home."

According to the network, an interactive consumer sweepstakes--dubbed "Red Carpet Riches" and developed in partnership with independent mobile content distributor, Zed--will give viewers a chance to win cash prizes ranging from $10,000 to $40,000 throughout award season (note: according to the network, a total of $70,000 in cash prizes will be given away by the sweepstakes). And a "Hologram Glam Cam" that generates 3D virtual celebrity images will debut during the network's Golden Globes red-carpet show, "Live at the Golden Globes with Carrie Ann and Chris" (airs Sunday, January 17th at 6:00PM Eastern, 3:00PM Pacific).
