The Academy Awards (also informally known as the Oscars, after the prized golden statuettes given to winners) have been an institution of American film since 1929. Established and still run by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, whose membership nominate and judge eligible films, they are intended to recognize the year’s greatest accomplishments in acting, directing, screenwriting, music, and other vital aspects of filmmaking.
The awards ceremony will be held Sunday, March 10, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, beginning at 7:00 PM EDT/EST. (The preshow will be held at 6:30 PM.) You can watch live on ABC, or watch the livestreams on ABC.com or the ABC app with your cable subscription, Hulu Live TV, YouTube TV, AT&T TV, and Fubo TV.
If you plan to watch, it’s especially important to remember to adjust your clocks: March 10 is also the first day of Daylight Saving Time in the U.S.!
