Here's How You Can Watch The Oscar Nominations Tomorrow Morning

After much deliberation and controversy, one of film fans' favorite days of the year is only a day away. That's right, tomorrow will mark the announcement of the nominees for the 91st Academy Awards. Who will make the cut? Who will be among the most notoriously snubbed in another packed year? There's only one way to find out, and it involves waking up nice and early to watch as each category is announced live. But how do you do that? In 2019, there's more ways than ever to do it, and they all will be covered after the jump. Get your predictions ready and hold out for one last chance at the best films of the year making the cut, for tomorrow everything will be decided.


For those who love The Academy Awards as much as I do, there's a good chance that the Oscar nominations announcement is one of the best moments of your calendar year. It's a thrilling moment when months of speculation reveal some of the biggest surprises, both good and bad. For those wanting to watch the broadcast live, it will be airing at 8:20 and 8:30 A.M. E.T./5:20 and 5:30 P.T. and announced by Oscar nominee Kumail Nanjiani (Best Original Screenplay, The Big Sick) and Tracee Ellis Ross. The nominations will be presented as it has been over the course of two announcements. There is no word whether it will be the traditional live announcement, or if there will be a video package (though expect a mixture of the two).

So, here comes the next question: where can I watch them? For those who prefer the traditional TV format, you can check your local listings and find a news channel that is likely to be airing it. Considering that The Academy Awards are considered a big deal, it's likely that most networks will be broadcasting it in some capacity as well as additional post-coverage. For those wanting to watch it through other means, there's a plethora of options online via live streams. If you wish to watch the broadcast live, you can visit any of these links to witness the magic unfold in realm time:

So please feel free to join in and revel in the fun of the nominations. There will be plenty of coverage to follow, including a rundown of the nominees in every category and additional commentary. Who knows how this year will go, especially after the divisive performance by Tiffany Haddish where she bungled half of the names. Still, it's an exciting period with a lot of promise. In a year where a lot of controversial and downright confusing moments happen, it's nice to see it finally culminating. Who will make the final cut? Only time will tell. 

The Academy Awards ceremony is currently scheduled for February 24 at 8 P.M. E.T./5 P.M. P.T. and has no host (maybe there will be a secret announcement tomorrow?). Check local listings for more information.
