How to Watch the 2024 Oscar Nominations Livestream

Want to be among the very first to know how many Oscar nominations Barbie and Oppenheimer collect? You can tune into the 96th Oscars nominations announcement on Tuesday, Jan. 23, and hear them the very moment Hollywood’s top stars and most powerful executives get the news. Just one catch: You have to get up early, especially if you’re on the West Coast. The live presentation begins at (gulp) 5:30 a.m. PT/8:30 a.m. ET.

Actors Zazie Beetz and Jack Quaid will host the announcement of the nominations in all 23 categories in a live presentation from the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The brief program will stream globally on Oscar.com, Oscars.org and the Academy’s digital platforms (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook), and will be seen on national broadcast and streaming news programs, including ABC’s Good Morning America, ABC News Live and Disney+. The Oscars have aired on ABC since 1976.

We will learn which two of the three shortlisted Barbie songs – “Dance the Night,” “I’m Just Ken” and “What Was I Made For?” – are nominated for best original song. Oscar rules allow just two songs from a film to be nominated.

We will learn if Diane Warren lands her 15th nomination – and seventh in a row – for “The Fire Inside” from Flamin’ Hot.

We will learn if the late Robbie Robertson becomes the first composer in 47 years to receive a posthumous nomination for best original score. Robertson is likely to be nominated for his work on Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. The last composer to be nominated in this category posthumously was the great Bernard Herrmann, on the 1977 telecast. He had two of the five nominations, for Taxi Driver and Obsession.

We will learn which eight films will go up against “Barbenheimer” for best picture. (There are 10 nominees in this category.) The films that are expected to face Barbie and Oppenheimer are American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, Past Lives, Poor Things and The Zone of Interest.

The 96th Oscars will air on Sunday, March 10, with the funny and genial Jimmy Kimmel hosting for the fourth time.

The nominations will be announced in two clusters on Tuesday. The Academy cautions that these categories are not listed in order of presentation and are subject to change, but this will give you a rough idea of what to expect.
