The Night of Glitz, Glamour, and Possibly Burnt Toast: How to Watch the Oscars in L.A. (Without Asking Siri 5 Times)
Ah, Oscar season. A time to celebrate the best in film... and also a time to realize you haven't cleaned your apartment in, well, let's not dwell on specifics. But worry not, movie buff with a side of procrastination, because tonight's the night!
But here's the thing: between the frantic last-minute cleaning (because Aunt Mildred is coming over, bless her heart) and the stress of whipping up a cheese plate that looks like it belongs at a fancy restaurant (spoiler alert: it won't), you might have forgotten one crucial detail. What channel are the Oscars even on?
Fear not, for I, your friendly neighborhood pop culture guru (with questionable taste in cheese), am here to guide you through this trivial pursuit.
Channel Surfing for Gold: The Big Reveal
Forget that overpriced rabbit ears antenna you bought in college (let's be honest, it probably doubles as a coat hanger now). In the City of Angels, you can ditch the cable woes and witness the red carpet glory completely FREE. That's right, I said free.
Drumroll please... The Oscars will be broadcasted on the one, the only... ABC!
Yes, ABC. The same channel that brought you hours of heartwarming family entertainment (think "Full House" reruns) can now deliver a night of Hollywood magic.
But Wait, There's More! (Because There Always Is)
Maybe you're a cord-cutter, a rebel with a cause (and a Netflix subscription). No worries, my friend! You can still catch the ceremony by streaming it live on abc.com or the ABC app.
So there you have it, folks! With a little know-how and maybe a sprinkle of good luck (because hopefully, you didn't burn the cheese), you're all set to witness Hollywood's biggest night. Now, go forth, enjoy the show, and remember: mute the commercials unless you really want to see that ad for erectile dysfunction medication again.
P.S. If Aunt Mildred asks about your questionable life choices, just tell her you're attending a "viewing party" for aspiring filmmakers. She'll be impressed... hopefully.
