Where can I watch the Oscars?

The 88th Academy Awards air Sunday, Feb. 28, at 8:30 p.m. on ABC.

If you’re a cable TV subscriber in one of eight markets (Chicago, Fresno, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Raleigh-Durham and San Francisco), you can access a livestream of the show on the Watch ABC app, available on smartphones, computers and tablets.

[The forgotten history of Leonardo DiCaprio: How a dorky teen actor became a superstar]

What time will the show be over?

As usual, 11:30 p.m. is the scheduled end time, though expect it to go a few minutes late.

Who’s the host?

Chris Rock. Given the latest controversy, this is one monologue you’ll want to watch.

[These charts explain how Oscars diversity is way more complicated than you think]

Who’s going to win?

Our critics guess here, predicting either “Spotlight” or “The Revenant” will take home best picture. “The Revenant” leads everything with 12 nominations, followed by “Mad Max: Fury Road” with 10; “The Martian” with seven; and “Spotlight,” “The Big Short,” “Room” and “Bridge of Spies” with multiple nods.

Where can I see all the fashion and the awkward celebrity interviews?

“E! Live from the Red Carpet” (E!, 5:30 to 8:30): Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic do what they do best — embarrass celebrities on the red carpet.

“Oscars Opening Ceremony: Live from the Red Carpet” (ABC, 7 to 8:30): Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan (along with Lara Spencer and Amy Robach from “Good Morning America”) anchor coverage. Annual note: ABC usually gets exclusive red carpet rights at 8 p.m.

“ET at the Oscars: Live on Pop!” (Pop Network, 5 to 7:30): “Entertainment Tonight” hosts Nancy O’Dell and Kevin Frazier interview the stars.

“Live from the Oscars” (CW at 6 to 7:30): Once again, Los Angeles’s local KTLA broadcast is always a treat.

What about the after-shows?

Per usual, “Jimmy Kimmel Live: After The Oscars” airs after the show following the late local news. His pal Ben Affleck will be in studio this year, along with appearances by Tracy Morgan,J.K. Simmons, Mike Tyson, Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick, Henry Cavill and Jesse Eisenberg. And maybe Matt Damon.

At 11:45 p.m., “E! After Party: The 88th Annual Oscars” reports from the famed Vanity Fair party and Governor’s Ball.

When can I judge the fashion?

Just tune into “Fashion Police” at 8 p.m. Monday on E!, when Melissa Rivers, Giuliana Rancic, Brad Goreski and Margaret Cho give their candid thoughts on the gowns, with special guest Tim Gunn adding his input.
