Getty The 2020 Oscars Will Take Place On February 9, 2020
The Oscars, also known as The Academy Awards, are taking place this Sunday, February 9, 2020. The 92nd Academy Awards will air at 8:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM PT on ABC. Other platforms airing The Oscars include Hulu and Sling. Red carpet coverage will begin prior to the start of the ceremony.
The 2020 Oscars will not have a host. After the controversy surrounding Kevin Hart hosting the 2019 Oscars, stemming from past tweets of his that were rooted in homophobia, the organizations decided to go forward with the 92nd Academy Awards sans-host.
