Here’s how to watch this Sunday’s Oscars
From the red carpet action to the best picture announcement, don't miss a thing.
It’s got glitz, glam, and Jimmy Kimmel. On March 4, the crown jewel of Hollywood award shows will hit the air.
New England won’t have a prominent presence at the 90th annual Academy Awards the way it has in previous years, though it does have some local ties: “I, Tonya,” about Stoneham native Nancy Kerrigan’s major figure skating rival Tonya Harding, is up for three Oscar nominations, and Cambridge native Rachel Morrison has a shot at being the first woman to take home the best cinematography statuette.
Whether you’re watching on a TV, computer, or other gadget, here’s how to not miss an Academy Awards moment.
How to watch on TV
E! will kick off coverage on Sunday at 1 p.m. with a two-hour countdown to the red carpet. At 5 p.m., E! will start live carpet coverage.
On ABC — channel 5 for those in Boston — red carpet coverage will begin at 6:30 p.m.
ABC is the only place to watch the ceremony, which begins at 8 p.m.
How to livestream
The livestream of the Oscars ceremony will be available to Bostonians with DirecTV logins on ABC.com and the ABC app. Once signed in to DirecTV, go to abc.com/watch-live or choose “live TV” in the ABC app. Further information is available on oscar.go.com.
