The 94th Academy Awards begins Sunday, March 27 at 5pm PT/8pm ET. There’s no word yet on when exactly the red carpet preshow will begin, but if it’s anything like last year, then the event will most likely begin at 3:30pm PT/6:30pm ET.
Here’s how to watch ABC’s Oscars broadcast
If you decide to watch the Oscars live on TV, the event will be broadcast on ABC. It will also be available for streaming ABC’s website or via the ABC app with your TV provider account information.
How to stream the Oscars
If you can’t watch the ceremony live on ABC or don’t have a TV provider, there are a number of ways you can stream it online.
The Oscars ceremony will be available via stream Hulu Live TV or YouTube TV with a subscription (although both services offer free trial periods that cover a single night if you decide after the ceremony you don’t want to subscribe). Other streaming options are also available, such as AT&T TV Now and FuboTV.
What to expect
While the last few Oscar ceremonies have not had a host, this year’s performance will be hosted by Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall. Although this year it will not be a virtual ceremony like many of the awards ceremonies in 2021, The New York Times reported that nominees and guests for this year’s Academy Awards must provide proof of vaccination and two negative PCR tests, while presenters and cast members must undergo “rigorous testing” without being vaccinated.
It’s also worth noting that anyone hoping to see all of the categories on live television will be severely disappointed, as the Academy has already announced that it will be dropping eight of its usual 24 categories from this year’s live broadcast. The categories in question are film editing, makeup and hair styling, original score, production design, sound, and all three short subject categories (live action, animation, and documentary).
That doesn’t mean those categories won’t be broadcast at all during the ceremony. Indeed, Academy President David Rubin said in a letter to the press that these eight awards would instead be presented in a pre-broadcast ceremony, while the actual speeches would be broadcast sometime during the main event. This way, the friends and families of these nominees can continue to see their loved ones on the air.
