If you’re eager to discover who will be the winner at the 2025 Oscars, as Emilia Pérez has been nominated a record-breaking 13 times, followed closely by The Brutalist and Wicked with 10 nominations each, you can catch the event on television or online in numerous countries this Sunday, March 3. Many will be tuning in not only to see the performances of host Conan O’Brien at this year’s ceremony, but also to witness the glamour and excitement of the Academy Awards red carpet in L.A., especially since the city has recently recovered from wildfires. However, if you’re lucky enough to have one of the limited tickets, you could be attending the Oscars in person.
Following our usual custom, ABC is set to air the ceremony in the U.S., and it can also be watched online on abc.com and the ABC app, as well as through streaming services that offer ABC content such as DirecTV, Hulu + Live TV, Verizon, and Sling. This year, Disney will make its debut by live-streaming the Oscars on Hulu. The event begins at 4 p.m. Pacific Time / 7 p.m. Eastern Time.
Nowadays, the Oscars ceremony mirrors the global nature of the U.S. film industry itself. Regardless of where you reside or travel, you have multiple options to catch the glamour on the red carpet, the presentations of awards, and heartfelt acceptance speeches. However, it’s important to note that this event isn’t completely untouched by geopolitics – for the fifth consecutive year, China and Russia will not broadcast the Oscars.
Here’s a guide from The Hollywood Reporter on where you can watch the Oscars in some international locations. To find out which international networks and streaming services are airing the ceremony, consult the comprehensive list provided by the Academy. [Link to the list]
