The Oscars are here, which means two things: some of the best films and craftspeople from 2021 will be awarded, and everyone will be looking fabulous.
An annual tradition is the Oscars red carpet, which starts early and covers the arrivals of various nominated stars and other celebrities who are on hand to present at the Academy Awards. This year is no different, and with a lineup that includes Will Smith, Kristen Stewart, Andrew Garfield, Jessica Chastain, Benedict Cumberbatch, Penelope Cruz, Ariana DeBose, Steven Spielberg, Kirsten Dunst, Tiffany Haddish, Zoe Kravitz, Lady Gaga, Elliot Page, Tracee Ellis Ross and many more – well, it’s shaping up to be a robust red carpet event.
But how do you watch the red carpet? Will it be streaming? What time does it start? All the details you need to know below.
