Oscars live stream: Here’s how to watch the hostless ceremony online 

It’s been a bumpy ride to the 2019 Oscars, from a new best popular picture category to the Kevin Hard step-down that’s led to the first hostess ceremony in decades. While many of the pre-show obstacles have been sorted out (or at least thoroughly debated), there’s still time for Sunday night’s winners to stir up a social media frenzy.

Whether you’re a cord-cutter or simply trying to tune in while in transit, these live streams will ensure you won’t miss a thing when the ceremony airs live on Feb. 24 at 8 p.m.
