Hollywood’s biggest night is almost here.
This Sunday, the 90th annual Academy Awards will go down at Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre, where industry figures will gather to see which movies were strong enough to earn the highly coveted Oscar gold. And with a crop of nominees that includes films like Get Out, Lady Bird, Dunkirk, and The Shape of Water, this year’s show is expected to be one for the books.
Luckily for us, there are plenty of ways to watch the ceremony’s live broadcast.
The 90th annual Academy Awards, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, will air at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. The network will broadcast its red carpet coverage, which is titled Oscars Opening Ceremony: Live from the Red Carpet, at 6:30 p.m. ET, and E! will air its red carpet special at 5 p.m. ET.
Movie buffs can also stream the awards show at ABC.com or on the ABC app, just as long as they have a cable provider login and are in one of the following markets: Chicago, Fresno, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Raleigh-Durham, or San Francisco. According to ABC News, DirecTV subscribers in Albuquerque, Boston, Ft. Smith/Fayetteville, Jackson (Mississippi), Kansas City, Milwaukee, Monterey-Salinas, Oklahoma City, Omaha, Pittsburgh, Portland-Auburn (Maine), Savannah, and West Palm Beach can also watch the ceremony’s livestream.
