The 2017 Oscars ceremony will finally be here on Sunday, February 26. We're expecting "La La Land," which is tied for the most nominations for any movie in history, to sweep. Here's how you can watch that happen.
How and when to watch the Oscars.
The awards ceremony and red carpet will air on ABC, hosted this year by Jimmy Kimmel.
The 89th Academy Awards ceremony itself airs at 8:30 p.m. EST, or 5:30 p.m. PT.
The red carpet will air at 7 p.m. EST, or 4 p.m. PT.
ABC is offering the red carpet program online without needing to sign in with a cable provider. But the ceremony itself will have limited availability.
The ceremony will stream live online at ABC.com and the ABC app for verified viewers in ABC’s eight owned station markets. Those are New York (WABC), Los Angeles (KABC), Chicago (WLS), San Francisco (KGO), Houston (KTRK), Fresno (KFSN), Philadelphia (WPVI), and Raleigh-Durham (WTVD).
If you're a DirecTV subscriber, you can access the live stream if you're in any of the following Hearst station markets: Albuquerque – Santa Fe (KOAT), Boston (WCVB and WMUR), Fort Smith/Fayetteville/Springdale/Rogers (KHBS), Jackson, MS (WAPT), Kansas City (KMBC), Milwaukee (WISN), Monterey-Salinas (KSBW-DT2), Oklahoma City (KOCO), Omaha (KETV), Pittsburgh (WTAE), Portland-Auburn (WMTW), Savannah (WJCL), West Palm Beach-Ft Pierce (WPBF).
On Monday, the full show will be available on demand to all verified viewers, and ABC will be posting highlights from the show shortly after they air.
If you're not in the United States, The Hollywood Reporter has a good rundown of how to watch the ceremony in your country.
Who we're expecting to win.
"La La Land" is the one to watch here. It has 14 nominations, tied for the most in history with "All About Eve" and "Titanic." Our colleague Jason Guerrasio at Business Insider expects it to win best picture, best director, best actress, and other major awards.
"Arrival" and "Moonlight" also made a strong showing with eight nominations each, and they should take a few prizes home as well.
