Table of Contents:


1. Where And When Are The Academy Awards?

By the time you will see this post, there will already be less than a week in the Red Carpet. The Academy Awards are all set to take place at the Dolby Theatre on Sunday, the 24th of February, 2019. The event kicks off at 5:00 p.m. PST and 8:00 p.m. EST. All other regions should change the time zone to see what the time of the event is in their respective region.


2. How to watch Academy Awards 2019 Live

Now, on to the elephant in the room – how can you live stream the Academy Awards 2019? As always, if you’re in the United States, then you have quite a few options to stream the award ceremony live online. ABC is the official broadcaster for the Academy Awards and it will be one for years to come, especially provided how it’s been streaming Oscars for decades now. So if you have access to ABC, just:

  1. Take out laptop or your phone
  2. Download ABC app (ABC Live) or go to https://abc.go.com/shows/oscars
  3. Stream the whole show when it goes live

The best part about ABC Live app is that it works on almost all of the major devices including Windows PC, Androids like Samsung, LG, HTC and others, Mac, iPad, iPhone, and pretty much every major operating system.


3. Other Options For Streaming Academy Awards 2019

But if you’re not in the US of if you don’t have access to ABC, there’s still hope for you.

First of all there are two ways with which you can stream the Academy Awards live.

  1. Free Academy Award Live Stream Options
  2. Paid Academy Awards Live Stream Options

3.1 Free Options To Live Stream Academy Awards 2019

Now we know everyone is looking for free methods to live stream Academy Awards in contrast to the paid versions, so let’s go through the free versions first up.

The two most obvious ways for you to stream are ABC and a digital antenna. Since most of the people do not or might not have access to these two, other methods are definitely worth a mention. Here are some of the methods.

  1. Academy Awards live stream On 9Now
  2. Academy Awards on Roku, Fire TV, KODI, or Chromecast
  3. Academy Awards on Social Media
  4. Academy Awards on Hulu Trial

3.1.1 Academy Awards live stream on 9Now

This method is the most efficient and the most fool-proof. If you live in Australia, all you have to do is just go to https://www.9now.com.au/live, register, and start streaming the Academy Awards. But if you don’t reside in Australia, please have heart. You can live stream Oscars for free using 9Now too. Here’s how:

  1. Get A VPN
  2. Download and run the VPN app
  3. Connect to an Australian server
  4. Open your browser and go to https://www.9now.com.au/live when the awards go live
  5. Stream the ceremony

3.1.2 Hulu Live TV

Another excellent and free, yes, a free way to watch the Academy Awards live online. Hulu supports ABC so as long as you have Hulu, you have access to ABC, and when you have access to ABC, you have access to the Academy Awards live stream. The only bad news is that Hulu is paid and works in US. But didn’t we just said you can watch Oscars on Hulu for free? Yes, and here’s how!

  1. Get a VPN to unblock Hulu outside the US or from any part of the world
  2. Run the VPN app
  3. Connect to the US IP
  4. Now go to https://www.hulu.com/networks
  5. Sign up for a Hulu 7-day trial using your email
  6. Go to ABC when the Oscars air
  7. Start streaming the Oscars 2019 online

3.1.7  YouTube TV

Just like Hulu, YouTube TV offers a trial, has a huge array of available channels and has access to ABC which is streaming the Academy Awards. So in order to stream Oscars on YouTube, all you need to do, is:

  1. Get a VPN to unblock YouTube app (or the live stream) outside the US or from any part of the world
  2. Download and run the VPN app
  3. Connect to the US IP
  4. Now go to https://tv.youtube.com/welcome/
  5. Sign up for a YouTube TV trial using your email
  6. Use the app to service to stream the Academy Awards 2019 online

3.1.8 PlayStation Vue

Since we are talking about using trial versions of premium streaming and TV apps, it would be a crime not to mention PS Vue which has taken the online TV world by storm. Using Vue can be just a little bit tricky because you might have to enter a region or a zip code. But we have a fix for that too, so just read on.

  1. Get a VPN to unblock PS Vue app outside the US or from any part of the world
  2. Download and run the VPN app
  3. Connect to the US IP
  4. Now go to https://www.playstation.com/en-us/network/vue/
  5. Sign up for a YouTube TV trial using your email
  6. Get the app from the your device’s play store or log in to Vue using the Browser
  7. Use the app to service to stream the Academy Awards 2019 online

The best part is, you can also use this app on your PlayStation 4. But if you don’t have a console, you don’t have to worry about it. Just get PS Vue app on any device you want and start streaming online.

3.1.6 Academy Awards live stream on Amazon Firestick, Roku and Chromecast

If you have the respective device with you, i.e. Chromecast, Roku or Fire TV/Firestick, just use a VPN to unblock the service in your area to stream the Academy Awards 2019 at your home.


3.1.7 Oscars on Social Media

Social media is one of the best ways to stream Oscars 2019. We all have accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit among others. So accessing Oscars through these apps shouldn’t be hard at all. Some of the ways to stream Oscars on social media include:

  1. Facebook
  2. Twitter
  3. Reddit
  4. YouTube

1.  Oscars Online On Facebook

Facebook is the-most-popular-social-media-today. You can find anything pretty much anything on Facebook.  You can use it for interaction, chats, meetings, reviews, job hunting, anything! And streaming is no different here. You could just find a stream being hosted there. But be warned, those streams could get down any minute, could get you a DMCA notice or could be filled with ads or could have other watermarks or effects which could affect your streaming experience.


2. Stream Oscars Live On Twitter

If you’re trying to find an illegal stream on Twitter, good luck because one, it’s hard to find and two, it could get down any second. What you can do is do a quick search on Twitter for people or channels that can provide you with a legitimate channel to stream Oscars on. For instance, someone sharing a link to 9Now.


3. Oscars Live Stream Free On Reddit

Reddit is growing in popularity when it comes to streaming events. Some Subreddits actually do stream events like Oscars but they’re hard to find and don’t always stay live across the event. And since you know the best awards are always announced at the final moments, you can’t really trust that stream just to be left anxious with suspense at the final moments if the stream gets taken down. Like every other social channel, it is an option, but not one you should bet on, that is, unless you use a VPN to stay anonymous.


4. Watch Oscars Live YouTube

YouTube might help you find a stream online but like Reddit and Facebook, if you don’t have a VPN, try not to go with this route because there’s a better way to watch Oscars on YouTube, and that’s YouTube TV. More on it in the paid section.

How To Watch Academy Awards 2019 With A VPN

Do note that in most legit cases above, you will have to use a VPN in order to live stream the Academy Awards. Why? Because the content is either region blocked or can get you into trouble and regardless of your concerns, a VPN can actually save you the trouble and can get you around both the restriction issues as well as the anonymity problems. It’s literally a silver bullet when it comes to live streaming Oscars 2019.

3.2 Paid Academy Awards Live Stream Options

Now with the free or the harder-to-access ways are out of the way, let’s talk about the most common ways for users around the world. Sorry, you had to wait for it, but most people actually prefer the 9Now way because it’s simple, free and best of all, it works.


3.2.1  Sling TV

Of course. If you have Sling TV, you can watch the Academy Awards in less than twenty bucks. It’s got multiple stations, it’s affordable and is perfect alternative to Cable television. Sling has been collaborating with the official broadcasters for quite some time now and this partnership looks likely. Like most of the apps, Sling is accessible from all of the major computing devices including PC, Android and iOS.


3.2.2  FuboTV

FuboTV is essentially Sling TV’s perfect alternative for anyone looking to stream Oscars online. It supports the same variety of devices, and is easily accessible.  All you need is a fast internet connection. Do note that in geo-restriction and some other cases, FuboTV will require a VPN just like Sling.


3.2.3 Through Paid Channels (what channel are the Oscars on?)

There isn’t much to talk about how you can live stream Academy Awards 2019 online through paid channels. There are literally dozens of those and if you have already subscribed to those channels, you can stream it for free. But in case you haven’t subscribed to the channel yet, all you need to do is check out this list (Channels Broadcasting the Academy Awards 2019) and get a paid subscription of one of these channels (again, some might offer a free trial.) You should use a VPN to change your region in order to unlock some of the free channels in the list.


To Sum It All Up

There you have it. Tens of methods to deploy or try out to live stream Academy Awards for free from anywhere.
