Oscars 2024: Everything you need to know on who’s hosting, who’s nominated, when it is and how to watch
Learn more on the Oscars 2024 ceremony coming this weekend, including how to watch or stream it, who’s hosting, who’s nominated, performances to look out for and more.
Hollywood has plenty of reasons to freak out these days: The rise of artificial intelligence. The struggle to turn a profit in streaming. The waning interest in superhero spectacles and other familiar franchises.
But the industry will press pause on those anxieties Sunday and roll out the red carpet for the 96th Academy Awards. Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” a three-hour epic about the race to build the atomic bomb during World War II, leads the pack of contenders with 13 nods. This year’s other major nominees include “Barbie,” “Killers of the Flower Moon” and “Poor Things.”
Here’s a guide to the show — and don’t forget to follow NBCNews.com’s live coverage of the telecast Sunday.
The ceremony is set to be televised live on ABC starting at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT — earlier than usual. If you’re a cable or satellite subscriber, you can stream the show through ABC’s website or its mobile app.
Jimmy Kimmel is hosting for the fourth time, following go-rounds in 2017, 2018 and 2023. (The show went without an emcee in 2019, 2020 and 2021; Regina Hall, Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes co-hosted in 2022, the year Will Smith slapped Chris Rock.)
