America’s most glamorous election contest is finally drawing to a close. Yes, it’s time for the 2024 Oscars.
Only marginally shorter than its political counterparts (and with no less lobbying), the road to the 96th Academy Awards ceremony is likely leading toward what industry and casual viewers have all been betting on: a wildly popular box office hit on the cusp of cleaning up, with “Oppenheimer” in pole position to claim best picture and a host of other categories.
Comparisons are already being made to 1998 and 2004, when “Titanic” and “The Return of the King” steamrolled their respective competition on their way to a record 11 Oscars each. Despite its 13 nominations, Christopher Nolan’s epic take on the life and times of the father of the atomic bomb is unlikely to dominate to quite that degree. But since when did Hollywood (or industry press) let the truth get in the way of a good story?
Here’s how to watch: We’ll find out exactly how well “Oppenheimer” and co. do on Sunday at 7 p.m. ET, when the ceremony kicks off on ABC in the US.

The telecast will also be available to stream on abc.com and the ABC app. It will be available through subscription on Hulu Live TV, YouTubeTV, AT&T TV and FuboTV as well.
As for the red carpet: You can watch ABC’s official 30-minute pre-show starting at 6:30 p.m. ET.
If you want an even earlier look, E! will be live from the site of the glamorous pre-show arrivals starting at 4 p.m. ET.
