The Oscars 2024 are almost upon us, and will bring to a close so many of the stories that have dominated Hollywood for the past year—or even longer. Will Christopher Nolan not only win his first Oscar, but also dominate the evening in the company of his Oppenhomies? Will the outrage around Greta Gerwig’s omission from the best-director category lead to a series of big wins for Barbie, including one for Gerwig’s screenplay? Can Emma Stone become a two-time best-actress winner before the age of 40? If Paul Giamatti wins best actor, will he celebrate with In-N-Out?
So many questions, but at least the answers will be here soon. You can watch the Oscars live at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on Sunday, March 10, with Jimmy Kimmel returning for his fourth time as host and a whole slew of stars set to take the stage, including prestigious previous Oscar winners who will likely present the acting awards. There will be witches from Oz in the form of Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande; there will be Fremen representation from Zendaya; and yes, there will be Kenergy.
It’s a lot to watch, and that’s even before you get to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party livestream, which kicks off after the Oscar ceremony ends. For a guide on how to join in on all the fun, read on.
How to Watch the Oscars 2024
The Oscars 2024 will begin at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT—yes, that’s an hour earlier than it used to be—on Sunday, March 10, a date the Academy says it will likely hold on to for the foreseeable future. Watch the Oscars live on your local ABC affiliate, online at abc.com, or on the ABC app using a phone or tablet. You’ll need to log in with a participating television provider to do that. For cord-cutters, the Oscars livestream will be available on providers like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, AT&T TV, Sling TV, or FuboTV, many of which offer free trials. And for international audiences, the Academy has a handy guide for where to watch the Oscars 2024 around the world.
Where to Watch the Oscars Red Carpet
Media outlets from around the world will be coming to you live from the Oscars red carpet, Vanity Fair included—so if you don’t start by following Vanity Fair on Instagram and TikTok, we can’t be held responsible for what you might miss. For even more of the red-carpet experience, ABC News will kick off its red-carpet coverage at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT, hosted by Linsey Davis and Whit Johnson, who will be live from the Dolby Theatre red carpet. E!’s red-carpet coverage will begin at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT with Brunch at the Oscars, and Laverne Cox will kick off Live From E!: The Oscars at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT. Then 30 minutes before the show begins, Vanessa Hudgens and Julianne Hough will host ABC’s official Oscars Red Carpet Show, promising to “provide a multiview experience of the red-carpet arrivals.”
How to Watch the Vanity Fair After-Party
When the Dolby Theatre clears out and the Oscars are over, the Vanity Fair Oscar Party will just be getting started. It’s our 30th anniversary and we’re going all out, including with a party livestream hosted by Tan France and Michelle Buteau. The festivities will kick off at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT, once the show has ended. The hour-long livestream, presented by #SmartTox and ISDIN, will be available on both vanityfair.com and Vanity Fair’s YouTube channel.
