Time once again for a night of cinematic celebration – and possibly some unexpected Conan-induced chaos. The 97th Annual Academy Awards, hosted by the one and only Conan O’Brien, airs live on ABC and streams on Hulu this Sunday, March 2, 2025, at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
With a presenter lineup including Dave Bautista, Harrison Ford, Gal Gadot, Andrew Garfield, Samuel L. Jackson, and many more, the Academy clearly isn’t skimping on star power. The official red-carpet pre-show begins at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT on ABC, offering viewers a chance to critique couture before the main event.
Executive produced by Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan, the 97th Oscars will broadcast live from the Dolby® Theatre at Ovation Hollywood, reaching audiences in over 200 territories worldwide. With more talent announcements expected, the night has the makings of true Hollywood spectacle – or, at least, a very well-produced three-hour advertisement for the film industry.
The 97th Academy Awards airs Sunday at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on ABC and Hulu.
