Academy Awards 2024: How To Watch, Nominations And More

HOLLYWOOD, CA — The Dolby Theater’s famous red carpet is back once again as the brightest stars begin to descend upon Hollywood for the 96th Academy Awards. So, movie fans, it is time to get excited and get ready to watch the 2024 Oscars on Sunday, March 10.

Jimmy Kimmel, last year's Oscars emcee, is returning as host of the prestigious annual awards show for the fourth time. Along with the usual red-carpet glitz and glamour, A-listers, including Michelle Yeoh, Sally Field, Matthew McConaughey, Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande and Brendan Fraser, will grace the stage to present the most coveted awards honoring the best movies of 2023.

In this year’s Oscars edition, “Oppenheimer,” an epic movie about the dawn of the Atomic Age, leads the field with 13 nominations, while “Poor Things,” a fantasy dramedy about one woman’s globetrotting tale of lust sans guilt, follows close behind with 11 nominations.

“Killers of the Flower Moon,” a drama about the horrific and tragic 1920s' Osage crime spree, also shines with 10 nominations. “Barbie,” last year’s biggest box-office darling about the iconic doll, rounds out the list of top best picture contenders with eight nominations.

The winners are anyone’s bet, but first, did we tell you that Godzilla is going to the Oscars for the first time ever? "Godzilla Minus One," a sprawling post-World War II kaiju adventure, is nominated for best visual effects, earning the first-ever Oscar nomination for the iconic reptile.

Let us also not forget that for the first time in Oscars history, two non-English language films are up for best picture: The French courtroom drama "Anatomy of a Fall" and the German language Auschwitz drama "The Zone of Interest."

Without further ado, here’s how to watch Hollywood’s biggest night of the year and all of its preshow events.
