READ WHO'S NOMINATED

What time does the show start and where can I watch?

This year’s show is again one for the early birds: The ceremony is set to begin at 7 p.m. Eastern, 4 p.m. Pacific, at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.

On TV, ABC is the official broadcaster. Online, you can watch the show live on the ABC app, which is free to download, or at abc.com, though you’ll need to sign in using the credentials from your cable provider. There are also a number of live TV streaming services that offer access to ABC, including Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, AT&T TV and FuboTV, which all require subscriptions.

The show will air live across the world. In Canada, it will be shown on CTV; in Britain, it will be on ITV. The Oscars website has a country-by-country list of the networks that will be airing the ceremony.

As always, the academy has lined up a bevy of A-listers. Last year’s acting winners Cillian Murphy (actor), Emma Stone (actress), Robert Downey Jr. (supporting actor) and Da’Vine Joy Randolph (supporting actress) — will be in the lineup.


The stars joining them will include Halle Berry, Penélope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Lily Rose-Depp, Harrison Ford, Gal Gadot, Andrew Garfield, Whoopi Goldberg, Selena Gomez, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Amy Poehler, Zoe Saldaña, Ben Stiller, Oprah Winfrey, Bowen Yang and Rachel Zegler. Nick Offerman will serve as the ceremony’s announcer.
