The 93rd Academy Awards will kick off at 4:00 am in the Middle East on Monday, April 26th

The 2021 edition of the Oscars are fast approaching, and here’s how you can watch it live in the Middle East.

Both the red carpet and the ceremony will air live on OSN in the region, both on OSN Movies and OSN On Demand.

For those who want to stream it, just head to the OSN App, click the menu bar in the top left corner, then click on channels, then OSN Movies, and the Oscars will stream live on your device.

OSN will also be showing recent Academy Award winners such as Parsite and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood until April 24, 2021 on the same channel. Follow the same instructions to stream in the app.

Before the 93rd Oscars begin, OSN will also air Oscars: Into the Spotlight, a prelude to the show, hosted by Ariana DeBose from Hamilton and Lil Rel Howery from Netflix’s Bad Trip, which will dive into the nominees individual journeys.

The show will also feature perofrmances from Leslie Odem, H.E.R. and Diane Warren, and JR from Korea and more performing this year’s nominated songs.

The special will begin at 2:20 am GST, with the big show kicking off at 4:00 am GST.

Oh, and here’s a tip: With a free trial, you can watch the whole thing for free if you download the app.
