A Guide to the Oscars 2022: Time, Streaming and How to Watch - The New York Times

A guide to everything you need to know for the 94th annual Academy Awards on Sunday night.

The 94th annual Academy Awards haven’t even gotten started yet, and there’s already drama.

First, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences demoted eight below-the-line and short film categories to a preshow, angering many in Hollywood who say the professionals in those races are essential to filmmaking. Next, the best director favorite, Jane Campion of “The Power of the Dog,” faced a backlash when she suggested at the Critics Choice Awards that the tennis superstars Venus and Serena Williams had never had to compete against men as she had. Campion later apologized. And then, Rachel Zegler, a star of “West Side Story,” which earned seven nominations, revealed in an Instagram comment that she hadn’t been invited to the ceremony. She was later asked to be a presenter, and the academy confirmed on Wednesday that she would attend.

So pop some popcorn, make an Oscars bingo card — trust us, you’ll want “golden hour” and “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” on there — and settle in for what may be the most normal Oscar ceremony of the past two years.

What time do the festivities start?

The ceremony, which returns to the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles this year, will begin at 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific — if you’re watching at home, that is. For the first time, eight of the 23 categories — film editing, sound, original score, production design, makeup and hairstyling, live-action short, animated short and documentary short — will be handed out in an in-person-only preshow that the producers are calling the “golden hour.” That starts at 7 p.m. Eastern, 4 p.m. Pacific, with highlights from the presentations later edited into the live broadcast. (The move is part of an effort to raise the broadcast’s ratings after they hit a record low in 2021.)

On television, ABC is the official broadcaster. Online, if you have a cable login, you can watch via abc.com/watch-live/abc, or if you’re an ABC subscriber, via the ABC app. You can also watch via a live TV streaming service like Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, AT&T TV Now, YouTube TV or FuboTV, which all require subscriptions, though many are offering free trials.

Is there a red carpet?

Yes, Oscars fashion is back! The academy is opening the red carpet an hour earlier than usual, at 4 p.m. Eastern, 1 p.m. Pacific, to accommodate the earlier arrivals for the eight “golden hour” awards. (Those attending the Oscars are asked to be inside the Dolby by 7 p.m. Eastern, 4 p.m. Pacific.)

ABC will have red carpet coverage beginning at 1 p.m. and running most of the afternoon, with a break for national and local news. The official Academy Awards preshow, “The Oscars Red Carpet Show,” begins airing on ABC at 6:30 p.m. Eastern, 3:30 p.m. Pacific. With Vanessa Hudgens, Terrence J and the fashion designer Brandon Maxwell as hosts, it will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the big night with red carpet coverage and interviews.

Who will be hosting?

Regina Hall, Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes will be teaming up, the first time the ceremony will have a host since 2018.

How is the competition shaping up?

Thirty-eight features and 15 shorts are nominated in 23 categories this year, and Campion’s queer western “The Power of the Dog” leads the pack with 12 nominations. A category to watch will be best supporting actor: If Troy Kotsur, who plays the deaf father of a hearing daughter in “CODA,” can pull off the win over Kodi Smit-McPhee, who was an early favorite for his work in “The Power of the Dog,” that could bolster the best picture chances for “CODA.” Also relevant is the best adapted screenplay race, where “CODA” won out over “The Power of the Dog” at the BAFTAs. “CODA” losing one or both could be an indication that best picture is going to “The Power of the Dog.”

What entertainment is planned?

The eclectic lineup includes Shaun White, Tony Hawk, and Serena and Venus Williams as presenters, as well as the first live performance of “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” the earworm from Disney’s animated musical “Encanto.” There also be tributes to “The Godfather,” which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, and the James Bond franchise.

Will the Russian invasion in Ukraine be mentioned?

Yes. The hosts told The Times there will be a segment devoted to it.

Who else will be presenting?

About 50 people are lined up to hand out awards, including Lady Gaga, Jake Gyllenhaal, Tiffany Haddish, Woody Harrelson, Anthony Hopkins, Samuel L. Jackson, Lily James, Daniel Kaluuya, Zoë Kravitz, Mila Kunis, Rami Malek, Shawn Mendes, Jason Momoa, Bill Murray, Lupita Nyong’o, Tyler Perry, Chris Rock, J.K. Simmons, Uma Thurman, John Travolta and Yuh-Jung Youn.

Who else will be performing?

Four of the five best original song nominees will be sung live, with performances by Beyoncé (“Be Alive” from “King Richard,” written with Dixson), Billie Eilish and Finneas (“No Time to Die,” from the James Bond film of the same name), Sebastián Yatra (“Dos Oruguitas,” the “Encanto” song written by Lin-Manuel Miranda) and Reba McEntire (“Somehow You Do” from “Four Good Days,” written by Diane Warren). Van Morrison, who wrote and sang “Down to Joy” in “Belfast,” was unable to attend because of his touring schedule.

What else is new this year?

The academy has introduced two categories with fans voting to determine the winner, which could be the path for a film with broad appeal like “Spider-Man: No Way Home” to take home an award. The #OscarsFanFavorite category asked Twitter users to vote on their favorite movie of 2021 (“Spider-Man” and “Cinderella” were among the 10 finalists in the last week before voting closed on March 3), and the#OscarsCheerMoment category asked film lovers to nominate their favorite scenes that made audiences burst into cheers in theaters. The winning ones will be shown during the ceremony.

Who could make history?

There are multiple potential milestones: If “CODA,” an Apple TV+ offering, or “The Power of the Dog” (Netflix) wins best picture, it would be the first time a streaming service won the top award. Lin-Manuel Miranda could become just the 17th EGOT — winner of an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award — at age 42 if he wins best original song for “Dos Oruguitas” from “Encanto” (Disney didn’t submit “Bruno” for consideration), or Beyoncé could get her first Oscar if “Be Alive” from “King Richard” wins instead. Ariana DeBose, the supporting actress favorite for her performance as Anita in “West Side Story,” or Kristen Stewart, who is nominated for best actress for her performance as Princess Diana in “Spencer,” could become the first openly L.G.B.T.Q. performer to win an acting Oscar. Kotsur, from “CODA,” could also become the first deaf man to win an acting Oscar.

Who do we think will win?

“The Power of the Dog” is still the front-runner for best picture, but just barely — it’ll have to fend off a surging “CODA” that’s taken the top honor at the actors, writers and producers guild awards. (Though it lacks directing and editing nominations, our awards expert, Kyle Buchanan, is predicting that voters are desperate to crown a crowd-pleaser.) Campion is a safe bet for best director — Sian Heder, the director of “CODA,” wasn’t nominated — and Will Smith is the favorite to win his first Oscar for best actor, for “King Richard.” Kotsur and Ariana DeBose of “West Side Story” are the clear favorites in the supporting actor and actress categories, but best actress could be a wild card — Jessica Chastain (“The Eyes of Tammy Faye”) has momentum after wins at the Critics Choice Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards (she’s our expert’s pick), but Kristen Stewart (“Spencer”) or Nicole Kidman (“Being the Ricardos”) could play spoiler.

Adblock test (Why?)
