The 96th Academy Awards kick off in just a few hours, and thanks to our Oscars 2024 watch guide, you won't miss out on even a moment of the glitz and glamour. 

Oppenheimer leads the way in the 2024 Oscars nominations, with other films up for gold including Poor Things, The Holdovers, Barbie, and more. 

Below, we've got everything you need to watch the red carpet and the ceremony. This year, timings are a little different to the usual, and the broadcast also has a new home in the UK. There's also the tricky matter of time zones, as the US clocks change on Sunday, but the UK is sticking with GMT until later in the month. Have no fear, though, because we've broken it all down right here.

How to watch the 2024 Oscars

The 2024 Oscars will be broadcast on ABC for viewers watching in the US, while UK viewers will be able to watch live on ITV (making a change from last year's event, which was shown on Sky Cinema). You'll also be able to stream online on ABC and ITV's streamers. 

What time is the 2024 Oscars ceremony 

Poor Things

This year, the 2024 Oscars ceremony timings are a little different. The ceremony will begin at 4pm PT/7pm ET/11pm GMT, which is an hour earlier than its usual time slot (don't forget that, in the US, the clocks are changing on March 10, but the UK will remain on GMT until later in the month, so the time difference is an hour shorter). If everything runs to time, expect the ceremony to end at 7:30pm PT/10:30pm ET/2:30am GMT. 

In the UK, Jonathan Ross will host the Oscars Live show from 10:15pm GMT.

In the UK, the red carpet will be live streamed on the streamer ITVX, beginning at 9pm GMT.
