How to watch (and stream) the 2024 Oscars

Mar 10, 2024

It's almost time for the Oscars

LOS ANGELES (AP) —

It's the Oscars' time

to shine.

After an abnormally packed awards season that included the Emmys, Grammys, Screen Actors Guild Awards, BAFTAs and Golden Globes, the

Academy Awards

will hand out filmmaking's top honor in 23 categories.

Even in its 96th year,

the Oscars

are finding ways to reinvent itself,

with a new start time

that's intended to have the best picture winner crowned before bedtime.

What time do the Oscars start?

The Oscars are starting an hour early this year, at 7 p.m. Eastern, 4 p.m. PDT. That D is important — it's the

first day of daylight saving time

in the United States. ABC is available with an antenna or through cable and satellite providers.

What if I want to stream the Oscars?

For cord cutters, the show can be streamed with a subscription to Hulu Live TV, YouTubeTV, AT&T TV and Fubo TV.

I don't live in the U.S. How can I watch the Oscars?

The Oscars are widely broadcast beyond the U.S. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has a

handy guide

to the more than 200 international territories that have Oscar telecasts.

How can I watch the red carpet?

The Oscars red carpet (yes, it's

back to red

this year after

opting for a champagne color

in 2023) is a major fashion showcase. Oscar nominees and winners from past, present and future pose and mingle ahead of the ceremony.

With an earlier start time, the carpet will begin at 3:30 p.m. Eastern/12:30 p.m. Pacific.

ABC will air its “Countdown to Oscars: On the Red Carpet Live!" beginning at 1 p.m. Eastern on

ABC News Live

.

The Associated Press

will have a livestream of stars' arrivals and interviews

in a pair of livestreams available on

APNews.com

and YouTube.

Is there any way to watch the Oscars after parties?

Oscar winners, and even stars who aren't at the ceremony, flock to the Vanity Fair party after the show is over. It's where

newly-minted Oscar winners

Michelle Yeoh, Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan were mobbed last year, and

Will Smith and family danced

the night away after

the infamous Slap moment

and his best actor win in 2022.

The AP will

livestream stars arriving at the Vanity Fair party

beginning at 11 p.m. Eastern on YouTube.

I need to cram for the Oscars. What's likely to win and how can I watch the nominated films?

AP Film Writers Lindsey Bahr and Jake Coyle have

made their predictions

for this year's show. Their assessment of the top categories explains the closely-contested best actress race, why “Oppenheimer” is in for a big night and other tidbits. They've also made predictions in all 23 categories, including everything from short film to makeup and hairstyling.

This year's nominees are widely available on streaming. The AP has compiled a

guide of where to watch

them, whether you're trying to cram a film in before the show, or catching up after the show.
