1. When are the 2022 Oscars?
The 94th annual Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, March 27, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. We even have an entire list of the nominees, so you can track your predictions before the ceremony begins.
2. Where can I Live Stream the Oscars?
The Academy Awards will be exclusively broadcast on ABC and abc.com, though subscribers can also watch using the ABC app. The ceremony will begin at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT and is scheduled to conclude at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT. (FYI: That’s just a loose time frame, since it probably won’t end until 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT at the absolute earliest.)
3. What if I don't have cable?
No cable? No problem. You can live stream the Oscars using services like Sling TV, Hulu, Fubo TV, AT&T TV, and YouTube TV. Non-subscribers will need to purchase a streaming subscription or sign up for a free trial. (Pro tip: If you’ve already completed your trial, use a different email address for another seven days.)
4. Will there be a red carpet?
This year’s awards show will take place in-person, so we expect to see a handful of stars stopping for photos. Based on past coverage, we’ll likely be able to watch the red carpet on the ABC site or app starting at 5:30 p.m. ET, or on the Academy's official Twitter from 6:30 p.m. ET. We’re also crossing our fingers that E! will broadcast the pre-show and red-carpet coverage, but we’re still waiting for details on that front.
5. Who's hosting?
For the past two years, there has been no host for the Oscars. While that’s still the case for 2022, the Academy has enlisted three emcees to lead the ceremony: Wanda Sykes, Amy Schumer and Regina Hall.
6. Who's nominated?
This month, Tracee Ellis Ross (Black-ish) and Leslie Jordan (Will & Grace) announced all the categories and their respective nominees. The Power of the Dog received the most recognition, with a total of 12 nods. Dune came in second place with ten nominations, but there was a two-way tie for third between Belfast and West Side Story, which both received seven.
Come March 27, you know where to find us.
