2025 Oscars: How to watch or stream the Academy Awards in the US
The biggest night in film, the 95th Academy Awards, is happening this Sunday, and with it the ultimate prizes the industry can bestow on its peers.
Here's what to know about the Oscars and how to watch it live.
The 97th Academy Awards ceremony is scheduled for Sunday 2 March. The awards start at 7pm ET (4pm PST), or midnight in the UK and 11am in Sydney, Australia.
The event will be broadcast live on ABC and streaming on Hulu. Cable subscribers can also access the show online at abc.com and in the ABC app.
Here's how to watch outside the US.
To catch A-list celebrities and their outfits, viewers can tune in to the red-carpet shows starting at 3.30pm ET on ABC and Hulu.
Julianne Hough and Jesse Palmer, hosts of Dancing With the Stars and The Bachelor, will helm live coverage from the red carpet.
Conan O'Brien, the former late-night host and comedian, will be taking charge of this Sunday's Oscars. He's taking over from Jimmy Kimmel, who has hosted the ceremony four times since 2017.
Asked why he decided to accept the hosting gig, Conan, after joking about the appeal of the gig's paycheck, explained that the 'the Oscars has meaning'.
'Really good cinema – especially when it's from different countries, different points of view – has an incredible amount of resonance and importance right now, and this is the night that celebrates that. To be a part of it is meaningful to me,' he told the New York Times.
In light of the devastating California wildfires, the marketing company behind the goody bags handed out at Oscars has tweaked its offerings, with key inclusions reflecting the disaster.
The bag includes more than $1m worth of personalised disaster recovery services, the offer of complimentary home renovation project management and cannabis products, among other treats.
The ceremony will not feature the traditional performances of the best song nominees. Instead, the lineup of performers will include Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, Queen Latifah, Doja Cat, Lisa of Blackpink and Raye.
Emilia Pérez received 13 nominations at this year's Oscars – the most of any film and a record for the most nominations ever earned by a non-English-language film.
The films' nominations put it ahead of both Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in 2001 and Roma in 2018, both of which garnered 10 nods.
Just behind Emilia Pérez in total nominations are The Brutalist and Wicked, which both secured 10 nominations including in the biggest category of the night.

EXCLUSIVE Rickey Smiley reveals he has no issue with 'offending people' as he details list of taboo topics in comedy special
Rickey Smiley is back - and has declared that he is funnier than ever before. 'I haven't done a special in 12 years, so I'm really excited about it,' he told Smiley - whose new special Fool-ish is now available to stream on Hulu - describes his latest project as 'funny, animated, with a lot of energy.' '[It's] really physical,' he quips. 'Something that I think everybody would enjoy.' Smiley, 56, says 'life has brought a lot of changes' since his last special, something which he delves into in Fool-ish. Joking that he is now 'older, and has a beard,' he also spoke about the changes having grown children - and recently discovering he is the biological father to six-year-old twin girls - has had on his comedy. 'I talk about that in the special as well,' he assures fans. 'It's a great special to be in your 40s and 50s, [and for] people in their 20s and 30s or whatever.' 'I think I'm funnier now, than I was before,' he declared. 'Because at this age, you say whatever on your mind and you don't care who gets mad.' 'When you have more life behind you than in front of you, you don't care,' he laughed. Smiley, who lost his 32-year-old son Brandon to an accidental overdose in January 2023, said performing his show felt like they were on stage together. 'My son was a performer, he was funny. He had his own style, and uniqueness on stage,' he reflected. 'I'm just glad that we were able to share and do the same thing,' he said passionately. For Smiley, who has been performing in comedy shows since the 1980s, there were no nerves when it came to curating the show. 'I'd done so many shows and comedy clubs, three shows Saturday, two shows Friday - do the morning show every single morning,' he listed. He joked it was like exercising the comedy muscles in your brain, and had 'a lot of fun' coming up with what to include in the special. 'I've been performing for years, and if you figure out if you're going to do a special, you go ahead and let's put a special set together,' he explained. Smiley, who lost his 32-year-old son Brandon (pictured) to an accidental overdose in January 2023, said performing his show felt like they were on stage together Smiley says that means 'doing things that people will remember.' The comedian added there may be some humor that may offend people, he deems his content universally engaging. 'You say what needs to be said and it's funny and everybody relates to it, and you're only saying what everybody's thinking anyway, so we just bold enough to say it,' the comedian shared. He revealed his potentially taboo topics include 'talking about little people' and his favorite TV show - My 600 Pound Life. 'People might get offended,' he admitted. 'But hey, it's funny, they're going to watch it.'

You can celebrate the 20th anniversary of ‘It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' with the cast
The gang's all here—in West Hollywood, that is, where all the stars of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia will be gathering for a special screening at the Directors Guild of America Theater, which will become the de facto Paddy's Pub for one night. On Tuesday, July 1, at 7:30pm, the Paley Center for Media will fete the longest-running live-action comedy series in TV history during its latest PaleyLive program: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia 20th Anniversary Celebration! That's right, the audacious dark comedy has been around for 20 years now—that's 170 episodes and counting—and you can get a sneak peek at the newest episode alongside the cast and executive producers. Rob McElhenney (Ronald 'Mac' MacDonald), Charlie Day (Charlie Kelly), Glenn Howerton (Dennis Reynolds), Kaitlin Olson (Dee Reynolds) and Danny DeVito (Frank Reynolds) will all be on hand for a conversation after a screening of the 17th-season premiere inside the theater. (McElhenney, Day and Howerton additionally serve as executive producers on the show.) That means you'll be seeing the episode eight days before it premieres on FXX July 9, and hearing firsthand the stars' insight on the show's remarkable run. The episode in question, 'The Gang F***s Up Abbott Elementary,' is the second part of a highly anticipated crossover with the Emmy-winning ABC mockumentary. 'Since 2005, 'the gang' from Paddy's Pub have entertained legions of passionate fans with their high-spirited antics, and we look forward to a fun-filled evening that is sure to be as hilarious as the show itself,' says Maureen J. Reidy, president and CEO of the Paley Center for Media. If you need to brush up on your South Philly history before the new season drops, the Paley Archive in the Beverly Hills Public Library now boasts past episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, thanks to FX (or, you know, they're on Hulu). But the archive is well worth a visit—it boasts 160,000 titles all in one place, from history-shaping news broadcasts to some of the most popular TV shows of all time. (And, unlike Hulu, it's free.) Tickets for the PaleyLive event go on sale to the public this Friday, June 6, at noon on and they're expected to sell out quickly. Paley Center members get access a day early, though, so if you want to make sure to reserve a spot, you could always spring for a membership (starting at $75).

John Mulaney reveals why he rejected Oscars offer
John Mulaney reveals why he rejected Oscars offer The 42-year-old comedian admitted while he was "flattered" to be asked to front the Academy Awards in March, with four-time host Jimmy Kimmel turning down the offer to lead a fifth ceremony John Mulaney John Mulaney turned down the Oscars due to the intense schedule. The 42-year-old comedian admitted while he was "flattered" to be asked to front the Academy Awards in March, with four-time host Jimmy Kimmel turning down the offer to lead a fifth ceremony. Appearing on Marc Maron's 'WTF' podcast, John said: "Well, I was very flattered. "They came to me, must have been last summer. And I knew Jimmy Kimmel wasn't gonna do it. And they offered it. "And it was honestly that I had a lot going on. And it's months and months of work." Instead, Conan O'Brien was chosen to host the prestigious event, and John was impressed by how the late night legend handled proceedings. Article continues below He joked: "He came out and he not only was so funny, but he elevated the show to the point that I almost convinced myself I had seen these movies and I'd seen not a one of them." He added that his fellow 'Saturday Night Live' alumni "just locked in and owned the f****** thing". Conan recently joined John for an episode of his Netflix talk show 'Everybody's Live with John Mulaney'. The comedian confirmed "there was a plan to do more", with him and the steaming giant currently "figuring it out". Despite finding the whole thing "very enjoyable", he admitted he has "really felt the 12 weeks in a row" as the three-month run rolled on. He admitted: "We would scale back what we were doing if we were doing it everyday." Article continues below John described his talk show as an "evergreen, weird" project which also straddles the line of "a variety show". He said: "It was more than just that we got to try a lot of bits and jokes and have guests on "We just got to try whole episodes where it felt very shoestring and episodes where we were blowing it out production-wise."
