The 97th Academy Awards are set to take place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, capping off one of the most fiercely contested and unpredictable Oscar seasons in years. With several major categories still up for grabs, the ceremony is expected to feature first-time winners and some surprising outcomes.
The Oscars will begin at 7 p.m. Eastern (4 p.m. Pacific Time) on Sunday and will air live on ABC. The ceremony is also available for streaming on Hulu, YouTubeTV, AT&T TV, and FuboTV, with ABC accessible via cable and satellite providers.
This year’s best picture race has been highly competitive, with Anora and Conclave emerging as strong contenders after securing major wins at other award shows. While these films have gained momentum, Emilia Pérez, the most-nominated film this year, faces uncertainty due to controversy surrounding lead actress Karla Sofía Gascón, whose resurfaced racist tweets have cast doubt on its Oscar chances.
For viewers outside the United States, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has provided a list of international broadcasters airing the ceremony.
The Oscars red carpet, a major fashion highlight, will be covered extensively. ABC’s official pre-show will begin at 6:30 p.m. Eastern, while E! will start coverage at 4 p.m. Eastern with its Live From E!: The Oscars broadcast. The Associated Press will also provide a livestream of celebrity arrivals on APNews.com and YouTube.
