The 2021 Academy Awards ceremony is set to take place on Sunday, April 25th at 8 p.m. ET. This year’s event may look a bit different due to COVID-19, but we are still in for a night of glamour. And in some places, that means you can place a wager on Hollywood’s biggest night!
Instead of the normal home of the Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, the ceremony will mostly take place at Union Station in Los Angeles because it’s outdoors. There will be no host again this year, but an A-list of celebrities will be on hand to help hand out statuettes from Halle Berry to Brad Pitt.
The Oscars will air on ABC, but for those without cable, you can live stream the 2021 Oscars online with ABC. Keep in mind, however, that requires a cable log-in. If you don’t have a cable subscription, there are quite a few streaming services offering free trials for one or two weeks. You can check YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, AT&T TV Now, FuboTV, or Sling TV and be able to stream the Academy Awards.
