At last year's Oscars, Rami Malek fell off the stage, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper performed an abnormally steamy duet, and Regina King got tangled up in her own dress – yeah, you're gonna want to watch this year's show.

If you're still living in 2006, you can tune in for the 92nd Academy Awards the good old-fashioned way: on cable TV. The show airs Sunday, February 9th at 8 pm EST/5 pm PST on ABC with red carpet coverage beginning at 5 pm EST/2 pm PST on E!.

But what if you don't have cable? Don't worry. Those of you who only subscribe to the holy trinity of entertainment (Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+) can still watch the award show in real time. Even if you've never even heard the word "cable" before this moment, there are still a ton of ways to see the 2020 Oscars completely free. Here's how to watch.

Hulu + Live TV

Have you been watching The Bachelor live every single Wednesday on Hulu? Well, then you might already have this package. Hulu + Live TV lets you watch ABC and 60 other live tv channels for $54.99 per month. If you don't have the package, you can scam your way into a 7-day free trial here – just don't forget to cancel it afterward.

ABC.com or the ABC App

You're gonna have to steal your parents’ cable password for this one. Just sign in to the ABC app (via DirecTV Now, Hulu, PlayStation Vue, and YouTube TV) or ABC.com with your cable provider. You can stream live on your phone, laptop, tablet, or smart tv. If you're using the app, you can watch the Oscars on the "Live TV" tab, while those using the website can just click abc.com/watch-live to access the show.
