One day to go. The 98th Academy Awards are almost here, and if you haven’t figured out how to watch yet, here’s everything sorted in one place.
Date and Venue
The ceremony takes place on Sunday, March 15, 2026, at the Dolby Theatre inside Ovation Hollywood, Los Angeles. Conan O’Brien is hosting. The broadcast kicks off at 7:00 PM EDT.
For Viewers in India
You’ll need to set an early alarm. The red carpet gets going around 3:30 AM IST on Monday, March 16, with the main show starting at 4:30 AM IST. If that’s too brutal, Star Movies airs a repeat at 9:00 PM IST the same evening. For live streaming, JioHotstar has you covered.
Where to Watch Globally
In the US, it’s on ABC. Streaming options include Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, and Fubo.
The Race This Year
Ryan Coogler’s Sinners leads with 16 nominations — the most any film has received in Oscars history. Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another isn’t far behind with nearly 13. Both films have dominated the conversation this awards season, and Sunday night should settle a few arguments.
