Believe it or not, the 2020 Oscars are almost here. This Sunday, January 9th marks the 92nd Academy Awards, which means Hollywood has been at this Oscars nonsense for almost a full century. You don’t want to miss it, so you need to figure out how you’re going to watch the Oscars live tonight—especially if you don’t have cable. Stay tuned for everything you need to know to tune in—including the start time, channel, streaming options, and red carpet details for the 2020 Oscars broadcast—but first, some editorializing from me.

Will South Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-Ho make history with a Best Picture win for Parasite? Will The Academy do the right thing and award Greta Gerwig the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar she deserves for Little Women? Will Brad Pitt deliver another hilarious speech for his inevitable win for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood? Gosh, I hope so, but we won’t know the answers to those questions until this Sunday night when the 92nd Academy Awards air live.

Who is hosting the Oscars 2020?

For the second year in a row, no one is hosting the Oscars this year. Last year, Kevin Hart was going to host but pulled out following criticism for his controversial anti-gay tweets. The Academy never replaced him, and the no-host thing went so well, it decided to do it on purpose this year.

Who is performing at the Oscars 2020?

Cynthia Erivo (“Stand Up” from Harriet), Elton John (“I’m Gonna Love Me Again” from Rocketman), Idina Menzel (“Into The Unknown” from Frozen II), Chrissy Metz (“I’m Standing With You” from Breakthrough), and Randy Newman (“I Can’t Let You Throw Yourself Away” from Toy Story 4) will all perform this year’s Best Original Songs nominees. Billie Eilish will also perform a “special performance.”
