What time is ABC's red carpet show?
The pre-show, officially called "The Oscars Red Carpet Show," begins at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT and will air live on ABC.
How can I watch if I don't have access to a TV?
Those who have a participating TV provider account in select markets can access coverage at abc.com or on the ABC app.
There will also be a Twitter live stream of the Academy's red carpet coverage, "Oscars All Access: Red Carpet Live," via @TheAcademy.
