That won't work without a U.S. cable subscription and then only in select cities.MaxWilder wrote:Use a VPN program like IPVanish, which will let you access a country’s websites as if you’re in that country. Choose a USA server and watch it on abc.
Ditto here in Pakistan too. Last year just followed winner updates on a friend's Facebook page and some days later watched the show on a bootleg dvd recording.anonymous1980 wrote:I've been snooping around. It turns out the cable channel that carried the Oscars here for the past few years, HBO Asia, did NOT renew the rights to broadcast it live here because it was too expensive. I'm looking and looking and it seems none of the other cable channels seemed have picked it up (it's 4 days away and I don't see any promos for it). I honestly don't know if any Philippine channel cable or broadcast will be airing the Oscars live here on Monday morning. If any of you guys know of any reliable and internationally accessible live stream channels just in case, that would be most appreciated.
Thats good to hear. Given the Oscars are the most sought after award with fans worldwide its not fair people cannot watch the show who wish to.mlrg wrote:Fortunately a cable tv channel bought the rights to broadcast in Portugal.

Who are the "seven people" outside of the world of entertainment? They only announced 3 - Williams, Congressman John Lewis and Chef Jose Andrés out of the eleven mentioned:Greg wrote:This idea I actually like.Big Magilla wrote:Another bad idea as reported by the New York Times via Entertainment Weekly:
Serena Williams may not have anything to do with this year’s crop of Oscar nominees but the world-famous tennis player will have an important role in next Sunday’s Academy Awards.
As The New York Times reports, Williams — along with seven other people from “outside the world of entertainment” — will introduce the Best Picture nominees and talk about how the films impacted their lives. Williams has apparently been booked to wax on about A Star Is Born.
“Along with inclusion, which we definitely want to embrace, the big theme of the show is about movies connecting us — not in this theater but in a big, sweeping, cultural way,” Donna Gigliotti, the lead producer of the 91st Academy Awards, told the NYT. “There are so many things to balance. Some viewers want to see glamour. You have to pay attention to where there is humor and where there is music. When do we guess that people at home might get up to make popcorn in the kitchen, and what can we have on right after that to bring them back?”

Diego Luna would make more sense for presenting Roma. Or maybe they will be paired. There are 11 presenters for 8 films. Obviously Myers seems to be the presenter for BR, but will he be paired with former SNL partner Carvey? They both famously banged their heads to the BR titular song in Wayne’s World and helped introduce Queen to younger generations in the 90’s.Greg wrote:I would expect that Lewis will introduce BlacKKKlansman and Andres will introduce Roma.

The eight contenders vying for the Academy’s highest competitive honor will receive introductions from entertainers like Barbra Streisand, Dana Carvey, Queen Latifah, Diego Luna, Tom Morello, Amandla Stenberg, Trevor Noah, and Mike Myers, while tennis pro Serena Williams, Congressman John Lewis — who played a role in organizing the 1963 March on Washington — and world-renowned Spanish-American chef José Andrés are set to speak about the nominated titles as well.
