The Oscars, also known as the Academy Awards, is one of the most celebrated events in the film industry. Many viewers look forward to watching their favorite stars walk the red carpet and find out who takes home the coveted awards. However, if you’re looking to enjoy this prestigious event without a cable subscription, you’re in luck. In this article, we’ll explore several options for streaming the Oscars live and ensure you don’t miss a moment of this glamorous night.
Streaming Services for Live Viewing
One of the easiest ways to watch the Oscars live without cable is through popular streaming services that offer live TV channels. Platforms like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, and Sling TV include ABC in their channel lineup – that’s where you’ll catch all the Oscar action. These services usually come with free trial periods, so if you only need them for one night of viewing, you might not have to pay at all. Just remember to check if your chosen service covers your area beforehand.
Using an Antenna for Local Channels
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option to watch live broadcasts like the Oscars without cable, consider using an HD antenna. An antenna can pick up over-the-air signals from local stations like ABC in many areas. This means you can watch the Oscars live on your television just as if you had cable but with no monthly fees. Antennas are easy to set up and can provide high-quality HD content depending on your location.
Renting or Purchasing Digital Copies
For those who may not be able to stream live or prefer watching later, renting or purchasing digital copies of Oscar-nominated films through platforms like Amazon Prime Video or Apple iTunes may be an attractive alternative. While this won’t allow you to view the awards ceremony itself in real-time, it gives you access to some of the nominated films that make up a significant part of Oscar discussions after show day.
Social Media Streams and Updates
In addition to official broadcasts and streams, many social media platforms provide updates during major events like the Oscars. While these won’t replace actually watching it live on screen, following hashtags such as #Oscars or engaging with celebrities’ social media accounts during the event can keep you informed about key moments and highlights throughout award night.
Consider Subscription Packages
Finally, various subscription packages offer access specifically tailored towards movie lovers and entertainment fans. For example, services such as FuboTV cater heavily towards sports but also include entertainment channels where award shows could air. These packages often come equipped with record options so that even if you’re busy during showtime, you’ll have access later on without missing anything important. Meanwhile some channels may even allow login access directly via their own apps or websites which may further ease viewing accessibility.
With these options at your disposal—streaming services offering local channels live coverage via subscriptions; antennas capturing over-the-air signals; digital rentals/purchases; social media updates; plus specialized package subscriptions—there’s no reason why anyone should miss out on experiencing this year’s Academy Awards from home without relying solely on traditional cable providers.
