by The time has finally come. After countless awards shows like the Golden Globes, BAFTAs and SAG Awards, the 2023 Oscars, also known as the 95th Academy Awards, is finally here. Blockbuster movies like Top Gun: Maverick with Tom Cruise and Avatar: The Way of Water will compete with indie films like The Banshees of Inisherin starring Colin Farrell and Everything Everywhere Simultaneously with Michelle Yeoh.

There is a lot going on and it can be confusing when everything is on. What time is the Oscars? Is there a live stream of the Oscars that you can watch?
