Taking place this Sunday, the 93rd Academy Awards is within spitting distance - a phrase likely to make anyone cringe considering the 2021 Oscars' delay this year due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic... Falling in April rather than its usual February slot this year, it's still promising to be an evening of glitz, glamour, and many a tribute to some of the greatest movies to come out over the course of the last few months.
Whether or not you're here to get a glimpse of the best red carpet looks, or you're eager to see who will take home the biggest award of the evening - Best Picture - we've got all the details for catching a 2021 Oscars live stream where you are. Be in the front row as the likes of Nomadland, Sound of Metal, Promising Young Woman and five other titles hold their breath for that Best Picture winner announcement.
Oscars 2021: where and when
Where? Union Station, Los Angeles / Dolby Theatre, Hollywood
When? Sunday, April 25 at 5pm PT / 8pm ET / 1am BST and 10am AEST on Monday morning in Australia.
US: Tune into ABC, or watch online at ABC.com.
Out of the country? Live stream the 2021 Oscars from your local broadcaster while outside of the country by using a VPN.
Once again, the Academy Awards will rely on award presenters to propel the ceremony forward throughout the night, with the Oscars remaining hostless since 2018 when we last saw Jimmy Kimmel take on the role.
One significant change this year will be the location of the 2021 Oscars. While we will see the inside of the Academy Award's usual venue at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, this year the ceremony will predominantly take place outdoors. Complying with Covid-19 guidelines, you can expect to see this year's nominees in the courtyard of Los Angeles' downtown railway station, Union Station.
While this year's ceremony will be a far more intimate affair than previous years, there will still be many of your favorite stars in attendance, including Zendaya, Regina King, Brad Pitt, Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon and others lined-up to present awards to this year's winners.
Video links via Zoom are also said to be being kept to a minimum, with British stars reportedly getting their own London broadcast hub, with the BFI Southbank rumored to be the venue.
It's fair to say things will look a little different than previous years. But with the likes of the Golden Globes and BAFTAs already having taken place with varying degrees of success, it's fair to say the Oscars will still hold strong to its reputation as an evening of paying tribute and celebrating the incredible talent within the movie industry.
