Getty Images The Oscars 2025 have finally arrived, marking an end to a particularly challenging 2025 awards season. Wondering how to watch the Oscars 2025 via live streaming or cable TV? Keep reading for a complete guide on how to tune in to Hollywood's Biggest Night. The 97th annual Academy Awards will take place in the wake of the Southern California wildfires that devastated acres upon acres and displaced entire communities. But similarly to the 2025 Grammys, this year's Oscars plans to 'honor' the city of Los Angeles outright. 'We will honor Los Angeles as the city of dreams, showcasing its beauty and resilience, as well as its role as a beacon for filmmakers and creative visionaries for over a century,' Academy CEO Bill Kramer and president Janet Yang wrote in a letter sent to the full membership of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, per The Hollywood Reporter. 'We will reflect on the recent events while highlighting the strength, creativity, and optimism that defines Los Angeles and our industry.' Therefore, the nominees for the 2025 Oscars, across 23 categories, were announced in a delayed presentation on January 23 by multi hyphenates Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang. The 2025 Oscars will be broadcast from Los Angeles's Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood, airing live one hour earlier than previous years at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT. Below, find out how to watch the Oscars 2025 live, via streaming or cable TV. The 97th annual Academy Awards will be hosted by comedian and former late-night host Conan O'Brien. This will be O'Brien's first time hosting the coveted ceremony, taking over the gig from Jimmy Kimmel. In an interview with ABC 7, O'Brien did not shy away from the unique responsibilities of this year's Oscars hosts: to provide levity and offer respect to the communities affected most by the Los Angeles fires. O'Brien's longtime assistant and collaborator Sona Movsesian lost her family's home in the destructive fires. "The Oscars is a show that is very much a hometown show. It's a Los Angeles show, so what's happened here needs to be addressed," O'Brien said, wearing a shirt that read 'Altadena' during his interview. 'It's a celebration of hard work that's been done by many people… There's a needle to thread, there's a line to walk, and I'm determined to do that correctly. But I want to make sure there's humor, that we have some fun, and that we have some joy.' Apart from the eventual winners, others hitting the Oscars stage this year include presenters Zoe Saldaña, Rachel Zegler, Joe Alwyn, Emma Stone, Sterling K. Brown, Margaret Qualley, Bowen Yang, Ben Stiller, Oprah Winfrey, Lily-Rose Depp, Elle Fanning, Selena Gomez, Halle Berry, Amy Poehler, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Ana de Armas, Dave Bautista, Harrison Ford, Andrew Garfield, Samuel L. Jackson, Willem Dafoe, Robert Downey Jr., Whoopi Goldberg, Cillian Murphy, and many more. In a medley of "show-stopping performances celebrating the filmmaking community and some of its legends," per the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the six musicians performing at the 2025 Oscars are RAYE, Doja Cat, LISA of BLACKPINK, Queen Latifah for a tribute to the late Quincy Jones, and acting nominees Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, alongside a special appearance by the Los Angeles Master Chorale. The 97th annual Academy Awards will be broadcast live coast-to-coast on ABC on Sunday, March 2 at a new time of 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT.

SZA Wears Chiefs Red Outfit and Matching Hair for 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show
SZA's special guest appearance at the Super Bowl required a special look! On Sunday, Feb. 9, the Grammy winner joined her longtime collaborator Kendrick Lamar during the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX halftime show in New Orleans — as she stepped out in a monochromatic crimson look. The singer wore a red leather jacket which she teamed with red pants with lace-up details along the sides and a furry belt around her waist. She even wore matching red sneakers and kept her long, red locks to coordinate with the Chiefs-red look. Related: Who Is Performing at the 2025 Super Bowl? All the Stars Taking the Stage on Football's Biggest Night SZA, 35, was previously announced as Lamar's special guest in a Jan. 23 performance trailer. The pair have collaborated on multiple occasions over the years as former Top Dawg Entertainment label mates, notably on their Black Panther soundtrack standout "All the Stars." Their most recent team-ups include two tracks off Lamar's 2024 album GNX — "Luther" and "Gloria"— and on song "30 for 30" off SZA's SOS Deluxe: Lana, a reissue of her 2022 album. As for her other recent looks, SZA snagged her fifth Grammy award last weekend when she attended the 2025 Grammys in a flowy bubblegum pink gown. The dress, which she accessorized with layered necklaces, a pink shawl and bangle bracelets, came complete with her signature curly hair, glossy lip and a metallic eye look. While wearing the outfit, she took home the trophy for best R&B song for her hit "Saturn."

"Everything [has] been moving fast like far as production and rehearsals and stuff, so we speak, [but] we haven't really got a chance to settle into the moment," Lamar said. "For me personally, watching her, you know, her career and where she's come from, it's amazing to see." "I get to finally see how certain individuals see me come up in the process because I've seen her, day one, coming in the studio and writing songs, throwing away songs, writing another song, throwing away songs," he added. Lamar added that SZA — who signed with TDE in 2013 — has "always had it" and that he was "honored to be next to her talent." The 2025 Super Bowl, in which the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs, is currently airing on Fox. Read the original article on People
