How To Watch The Oscars Online & On TV
The 91st Oscars are Sunday, February 24 with the ceremony beginning at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT live on ABC from the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland. The network is also making the ceremony, which is famously going host-free this year, available on ABC.com and via the ABC app. ABC is available via a cable or satellite provider and via DirecTV Now, Hulu, PlayStation Vue and YouTube TV. (See below for network’s full schedule for the day, which includes an American Idol special and the pilot sneak-peek launch of Whiskey Cavalier in the plum post-Oscars time slot.)
Over on E!, the network will kick its all-day coverage of Sunday’s festivities (Oscar programming starts on the cable network at 1 PM ET/10 AM PT) into high gear with Live From the Red Carpet beginning 5 PM ET/2 PM PT and hosted by Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic.
