The excitement is growing as the 96th Academy Awards is just around the corner. The much-awaited event is set to grace screens on March 10 at Hollywood’s iconic Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, US. This year’s Oscars, hosted by the hilarious Jimmy Kimmel for the fourth time, promises an evening filled with glamour and a celebration of outstanding cinema. The spotlight is on Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, leading the nominations with an impressive 13 nods, including Best Picture and Best Director, while other contenders include Barbie, Poor Things and Killers of the Flower Moon. The star-studded event will feature presenters like Al Pacino, Chris Hemsworth, Ryan Gosling, Jennifer Lawrence, Matthew McConaughey, Steven Spielberg and many more. As Hollywood gears up for this grand night, Indian viewers are eager to catch the live telecast. Here’s your guide on when and where to watch, and what to expect from the Oscars.
As the dazzling red carpet and the most awaited award ceremony will happen on Sunday night in the US, Indian viewers can catch the show in the early hours of Monday. Disney Plus Hotstar will be streaming the Oscars, along with Star Movies, Star Movies HD and Star World will also broadcast the show live, starting from 4 AM.

Disney Plus Hotstar earlier officially announced the live streaming of the Oscars on their Instagram account and encouraged viewers to get ready for a glamorous morning. The announcement was made through a reel on their Instagram, featuring clips from various Oscar nominated films of the year, including Killers of the Flower Moon, Oppenheimer, Barbie, Maestro, Poor Things, and American Fiction, among others. Sharing the post, the page wrote, “Grab your snacks and settle in for a star-studded day. OSCARS 2024, streaming live on #DisneyPlusHotstar, March 11. Let the show begin.”

While Oppenheimer secured Best Film Awards at prestigious events like the BAFTAs, Critics Choice, and Golden Globes, Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster biopic appears to be a strong contender for the Best Picture race at the Oscars. Expectations are also high for Poor Things to take home the top honours, with the possibility of Emma Stone, the film’s lead, winning the Best Actress award.
Meanwhile, hosting an awards show is not easy and the living example is this year’s Golden Globes. Choosing the safe route, the organisers have wisely chosen to bring back the experienced Jimmy Kimmel to host the event and entertain the audience with his witty comments.
