Oscar night is nearly here.

On Sunday, March 10th at 7pm ET/4pm PT, the 96th annual Academy Awards will be held live in Los Angeles. Hosted by late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel for the fourth time, the ceremony will honour films from across the globe in 23 different categories.

How to watch in Canada

As has been the case for many years, Bell has the exclusive Canadian rights to air the Oscars. This means the show will air on the media giant’s CTV network.

Therefore, you can tune into the show on the CTV channel on TV, CTV.ca and the CTV app on Android, iOS and connected TV devices. On CTV’s website, you’ll need to sign in with your TV provider.

Etalk, Bell’s entertainment news program, will also have pre-show red carpet coverage on its InstagramTikTokTwitterFacebook, and YouTube channels.

The nominees

Overall, 2023 was a strong year for film. Besides the one-two box office punch of ‘Barbenheimer,’ a variety of smaller acclaimed films were released.

Here are the 10 films up for the coveted Best Picture award:

  • American Fiction
  • Anatomy of a Fall
  • Barbie
  • The Holdovers
  • Killers of the Flower Moon
  • Maestro
  • Oppenheimer
  • Past Lives
  • Poor Things
  • The Zone of Interest

It’s worth noting that Past Lives was written and directed by Korean-Canadian Celine Song and is inspired by her own life. Song is also up for Best Original Screenplay.

Additionally, London, Ontario’s Ryan Gosling, Margot Robbie’s main Barbie co-star, is up for Best Supporting Actor. He’ll also perform his hit song from the film, “I’m Just Ken,” at the show.

Other Canadian nominees include the late Toronto-born musician Robbie Robertson (Best Original Score for Killers of the Flower Moon) and To Kill a Tiger from Toronto’s Nisha Pahuja (Best Documentary).

However, Oppenheimer is the clear favourite to win Best Picture.
