The red carpet for the event begins at 4:30 p.m. ET and ABC will broadcast “The Oscars Red Carpet Show beginning at 6:30 p.m. leading up to the ceremony at 8 p.m.
As for what viewers can expect from this year’s Oscars, the ceremony will be a little bit different this year. As was previously mentioned, the ceremony features three hosts — Sykes, Hall, and Schumer — who will change each hour. There will also be fewer categories presented live. It was previously announced that eight categories — documentary short, editing, makeup and hairstyling, original score, production design, animated short, live-action short, and sound — would be presented prior to the Oscars ceremony with the taped awards edited into the telecast rather than presented live. It’s a decision that has been met with some backlash and prompted discussion of possible protests at the ceremony.
Additionally, those watching the ceremony can expect to see a performance of Encanto‘s hit song “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” as part of the ceremony as well. The breakout hit wasn’t nominated for an award this year — that distinction goes to “Dos Oruguitas” from Encanto — but will still have its time in the spotlight, performed live for the first time at the ceremony. The ceremony will also include a tribute to the 60th anniversary of the James Bond franchise as well as the 50th anniversary of 1972 Best Picture Winner, The Godfather.
