Unfortunately ABC doesn’t offer a live stream with a non-live TV service. You will have to use an antenna or a free trial of Fubo/YTTV/Sling etc.

ABC always looks awful no matter where it’s from.
YTTV
Comcast
Verizon
Directv

Terrible feed

Looks like a bad dvd

Bradley Cooper isn't wearing a tie and brought his mom as "his date." I feel momentarily superior to him.

Great joke about Foster and DeNiro's ages!

Is the Boy and the Heron good? I didn’t see it, but I recall scanning the thread here and not all were praising it.

I liked it a lot. It’s beautifully drawn and sweet, but very difficult to understand with convoluted story.
I liked Across the Spider-Verse more.

I’m not saying I’m not a fan, but Miyazaki’s work has never been on my radar. I know he has a huge following.

Still no Oscars for Oppenheimer. That will change, but it won’t be a sweep year.

I think you could make a case for Barbie over Poor Things for both Art Direction and Costumes, but I guess they valued the originality of Poor Things over the brilliant recreations in Barbie.

Hey Academy, if you really want to honor the stunt community, how about giving them a fucking Oscar instead?

I haven't been spot-on with all of my picks yet, but the only one where I'm actually disappointed is The Boy and the Heron winning over Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. I think that was more about the politics of honoring Miyazaki's career and while it was good, it wasn't his best film. Spider-Man was amazing, spectacular, all the things.
