If you’re like most people, you probably don’t have cable anymore. That means you can’t watch the Academy Awards (aka the Oscars) live on TV. But don’t worry, there are plenty of ways to watch the Oscars without cable. Here are five ways to watch the Oscars without cable:

  1. Watch the Oscars on ABC or CBS: Both networks will air the Academy Awards live on Sunday, February 24th. You can either watch them on your computer or TV screen using a streaming service like Hulu or Netflix, or you can buy a physical copy of the show and watch it at home.
  2. Watch the Oscars online: If you have a subscription to Hulu or Netflix, you can watch all of the Academy Awards online right after they air on television. This is a great way to catch up on all of the awards speeches before voting starts for the actual awards ceremony.
  3. Watch the Oscars with friends: If watching with friends is more your style, consider watching through social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. You can also use apps like Periscope and Meerkat to broadcast your viewing experience live from wherever you are in the world!
  4. Watch The Oscars Live Streamed from Home: If you want to stay in control of where and when you watch The Oscars, consider streaming them live from home using a streaming service like Sling TV or DirecTV Now! This way, you’ll be able to pause, rewind, and even fast-forward through any missed moments if need be!
  5. Watch The Oscars On Demand After They Air: If watching The Oscars after they air is not an option for some reason (maybe work forbids it), consider subscribing to one of many Oscar-nominated movies that are available on demand after they air on television networks like HBO GO and Amazon Prime Video! ..

ABC

ABC will stream the Oscars live on April 25, 2021, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on the ABC website, which is accessible with a TV provider login. See whether show producers Stacey Sher, Jesse Collins, and Steven Soderbergh can pull off the unique broadcast they’ve promised. Soderbergh, the filmmaker behind movies such as Ocean’s Eleven, Erin Brockovich, and Traffic, has said that he intends for the show to have the look and feel of a movie.
