The biggest awards in film air this Sunday, March 10.

In just a few days, the 2024 awards season will come to a climax with arguably the most significant award show of the season: the 2024 Oscars, airing on Sunday, March 10, 2024.

With so many acclaimed movies up for awards — Oppenheimer, Poor Things, Killers of a Flower Moon and Barbie, just to name a few — the 96th Academy Awards are shaping up to be one competitive night for the biggest names in film.

This year, viewers have plenty to look forward to, from Jimmy Kimmel's return to hosting the awards show to watching Lily Gladstone and Emma Stone vying for best actress. We are over the moon that we will get to witness a musical performance from Ryan Gosling reprising I'm Just Ken. Following last year's historical moments like Michelle Yeoh becoming the first Asian best actress winner at the Oscars and Brendan Fraser's come-back win for best actor in The Whale, we can't wait to see what this year has in store.

In addition to the aforementioned, some of the biggest talents up for awards this year include Colman Domingo, Cillian Murphy, Carey Mulligan, Danielle Brooks, America Ferrera and so many more. As far as Oscars presenters go, expect appearances from Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt and others. 

While we count down the days until that special Sunday in March, here's everything you need to know to prepare for the 2024 Oscar Awards, including where and when to stream the awards ceremony.
