William H. Macy tries on the Gear VR in Samsung's Oscars commercial

Samsung has a big presence during the Oscars, with the vendor rolling out new commercials during the awards show to highlight its latest phones. It's no different this year, as we have a new celebrity-studded commercial that showcases the best features of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge.

The commercial includes Wesley Snipes, Lil Wayne, Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers, James Harden, and William H. Macy, who uses the Gear VR to present the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge in virtual reality, highlighting the major features on offer with both devices.

The vendor also rolled out two other commercials during the Oscars, the first highlighting the low-light shooting capabilities of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, and the second touting the water-resistance features.
