The red carpet, er, champagne, is being laid out for Hollywood’s greatest night on Sunday as the start of the Oscars 2023 draws nearer. Jimmy Kimmel is presenting the 95th Academy Awards for the third time, but the ceremony will be different in other ways besides the influx of new 2023 Oscar candidates. The Academy has even hired a first-of-its-kind “crisis team” to make sure that there are no recurrence of last year’s incident that shall not be named. Many honorees (including all of the fiercely contested best-actor contenders) are first-time nominees.
The presenters and performers for the Oscars 2023 have already been revealed, which is thrilling. Even first-time participant Pedro Pascal is bypassing a potential viewing party in favour of presenting at the Academy Awards, even though his popular HBO series The Last of Us will show its finale at the same time as the ceremony. Here’s how to watch the Oscars 2023 live and guarantee that all of Vanity Fair’s predictions come true while celebrities gather for the evening and live coverage from the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
How to Watch the Oscars
ABC will broadcast the 2023 Oscars on Sunday, March 12. By logging in with a participating television provider, you can watch the ceremony live online at ABC.com (or through the ABC app) or on television at your local ABC affiliate. (You can get information about different suppliers here.) If you’ve given up cable, you can stream content on Hulu + Live TV, YouTubeTV, AT&T TV, Sling TV, or FuboTV.
