The 2020 Oscars will take place on Sunday, February 9, 2020 in Hollywood. And once again, there won’t be a traditional host to serve as the master of movie ceremonies. Here’s how, when, and where to watch the 92nd Academy Awards.
Joker leads this pack this year with 11 Oscar nominations, which is not a bad achievement after so much pre-release controversy. Just behind Todd Phillips’s comic book adaptation are The Irishman, 1917, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood with 10 nominations each. And then there’s Parasite, the South Korean hit directed by Bong Joon-ho, a film that continues to gain momentum and could be a big winner. The 2020 Oscars feature 24 categories, presented by several big industry names, including Brie Larson, Timothée Chalamet, Gal Gadot, Taika Waititi, and many more. The 92nd Academy Awards will also feature performances by Cynthia Erivo, Elton John, Idina Menzel, Aurora, Chrissy Metz, Randy Newman, Billie Eilish, and Janelle Monáe.
Given the prestige of the Academy Awards, people from all over the world will be tuning in live to see who wins the Oscars, whether it’s the most talked-about awards or the technical achievements that are equally important to the moviemaking process. Naturally, the Academy Awards spark intense discussions about which films got snubbed and which people deserve more recognition. Here’s what you need to know about streaming the 2020 Oscars.
