Academy Awards free live stream (3/10): How to watch Oscars online, TV, time, full list of nominees

The 96th Academy Awards, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, may be a coronation for “Oppenheimer,” which comes in with a leading 13 nominations, though other films, including “Barbie,” “Killers of the Flower Moon” and “Poor Things” are in the mix. The Oscars are set for Sunday, March 10. The awards show will be live streamed on Sling (half off first month), DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial).

Though recent Oscars have been marked by everything from slaps, envelope snafus and controversies over which awards are presented live during the telecast, this year’s show comes in with no big changes (besides starting an hour earlier).

All of the awards are to be broadcast live (though honorary prizes remain separated in the earlier, untelevised Governors Awards ). The academy is adding a new award for best casting, but that trophy won’t be presented until the 2026 Oscars.
