If you're looking for details on one of the biggest nights of the year, you've come to the right place.
When are the Oscars 2023?
Clear your schedule, because the 95th Academy Awards will be presented on March 12 in Los Angeles. Nobody knows who is going to win, but glamour and drama is a guarantee.
How can you livestream the Oscars for free?
The good news is that the 2023 Oscars are available to watch for free in locations all around the world: U.S. (ABC), Australia (7 Plus), Germany (ProSieben), Ireland (RTÉ Player), New Zealand (TVNZ), Canada (CTV), and more. That's great, but dedicated followers of film in the UK (Sky), France (Canal+), Italy (Sky), and the Netherlands (FilmBox) will need to subscribe to services to watch. We don't think this is fair.
Fortunately, you can use a VPN to hide your real IP address and connect to a secure server in another location. All you need to do is subscribe to a streaming-friendly VPN, download the app for your favourite operating system, and then connect to a server in a location that is showing the Oscars for free. Once you have taken these steps, you can visit a site like ABC or RTÉ Player to watch for free from anywhere in the world.
What is the best VPN for the Oscars?
There are plenty of VPNs that can do this job, but ExpressVPN is probably the best of the bunch. Users get strong connection speeds, powerful levels of encryption, reliable customer support, and up to five simultaneous connections. ExpressVPN can also unblock just about every streaming site, including Netflix, HBO Max, and Hulu.
A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £86.51, saving you 49% on list price. This plan comes with an extra three months and a year of unlimited cloud backup for free. Subscribers also get a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can recover your investment if you're not totally satisfied with the service. You could even use ExpressVPN to watch the Oscars for free and then get your money back with the guarantee. This is sneaky, but it works.
