Oscars 2023 is arguably the biggest event of the month, having already become the talk of the town over the past few weeks. With some great films from across the world participating, starting from Everything Everywhere All at Once to Banshees of Inisherin to Argentina, 1985, there is a collective global excitement about the event.

As usual, ABC holds the broadcasting rights to the 2023 Oscars, which will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel once again. It kicks off at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET and will be available for viewing on both the ABC channel and ABC's website. It will also be available for streaming on Hulu. But this is relevant only inside the United States, where ABC has a grasp. For other regions across the world, viewers will have to resort to other channels or means.

The timings for the Oscars 2023 will also vary significantly from region to region.
