When and where can you watch Oscars

The Academy Awards will be aired live on ABC, commencing at 7 PM Eastern Time and 4 PM Pacific Time. Enthusiasts can view the event at 5:30 AM on Tuesday, March 2. The ceremony will be held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Notably, this year marks the first occasion that the Oscars will be streamed live on Hulu. Additionally, viewers can access the broadcast through Hulu Live TV, YouTube TV, AT&T TV, and FuboTV.

Who's hosting the Oscars?

Conan O’Brien will be hosting the Academy Awards for the first time. The late-night television personality, who has transitioned into podcasting and has made occasional appearances in films, remarked upon the announcement, “The American public has called for it, and now it is a reality: Taco Bell’s latest offering, the Cheesy Chalupa Supreme. In related news, I will be the host of the Oscars.”

How have the wildfires altered the show?

The wildfires that ravaged significant areas of Los Angeles in early January prompted some individuals to advocate for the cancellation of the Academy Awards. The Academy postponed the announcement of nominations on two occasions; however, the ceremony's scheduled date of March 2 remained unchanged. Leaders within the Academy have maintained that the event should proceed due to its economic significance for Los Angeles and its representation of resilience.

Organizers have committed to ensuring that this year's awards will "honor the work that brings us together as a global film community and recognize those who bravely battled the wildfires." Nevertheless, the impact of the fires has diminished the typical exuberance associated with Hollywood's awards season, leading to the cancellation of the Academy's annual nominees' luncheon.
