2. Where Can I Live Stream the Oscars?

The Academy Awards will be exclusively broadcast on ABC and abc.com, though subscribers can also watch using the ABC app. The ceremony will begin at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT and is scheduled to conclude at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT. (FYI: That’s just a loose time frame, since it probably won’t end until 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT at the absolute earliest.)

3. What if I Don't Have Cable?

No cable? No problem. You can live stream the Oscars using services like Sling TV, Hulu, Fubo TV, AT&T TV, and YouTube TV. Non-subscribers will need to purchase a streaming subscription or sign up for a free trial. (Pro tip: If you’ve already completed your trial, use a different email address for another seven days.)

4. Will There Be a Red Carpet?

This year’s awards show will take place in-person, so we expect to see all the big stars stopping for photos. Based on past coverage, we’ll likely be able to watch the red carpet on the ABC site or app starting at 5:30 p.m. ET, or on the Academy's official Twitter from 6:30 p.m. ET. We’re also crossing our fingers that E! will broadcast the pre-show and red-carpet coverage, but we’re still waiting for details on that front.

Last year, the Academy enlisted three emcees to lead the ceremony: Wanda Sykes, Amy Schumer and Regina Hall. And in 2023, Jimmy Kimmel will serve as host.
