The Time Has Come – Oscar Sunday!

Written by Lindsay Scouras
Oscar Sunday 2018

When you wake up and it’s the BEST DAY OF THE YEAR – Oscar Sunday!!!

In addition to following along with yours truly, here’s the schedule where you can catch all of today’s broadcasts:

E!: 1 P.M.
Countdown to the Red Carpet

They say: “The inside scoop about the red carpet, with fun signature games, expert fashion predictions and an early look at the red carpet.”

I say: This is a solid four hours of crap, but if you’re an addict like me you’ll watch anyways. It consists of poorly Photoshopping nominees heads onto runway photos and watching the E! hosts trying to navigate the very murky waters they’ve gotten themselves into on this year’s red carpets.

E!: 5 P.M.
Live from the Red Carpet

Will they or won’t they? It’s only taken seventeen million years, but apparently some people don’t want to talk to Ryan Seacrest (looking at you, J.Law). My guess is he will be wearing a white dinner jackets and avoiding making eye contact with any female actress sporting some kind of social justice pin.

E!: 7 P.M.
Red Carpet Rundown

I think this is the part where they expect that everyone will jump ship and go to the ABC official Oscar red carpet broadcast. Guiliana is finally allowed to weigh in from that sad skybox across the street, looking forlorn while this year’s alcohol sponsor slings overly-complex cocktails inspired by the event.

ABC: 1 P.M.
Countdown to the Oscars, Live! Part 1

They say: “Highlights of previous Oscar ceremonies; a look inside the new Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences museum; Paula Faris and Chris Connelly host.”

I say: HOLLYWOOD NERDS, UNITE! I am dying to go to this new museum, I have high expectations for this program. Also the first of approximately 2049823847 times we have to relive Bonnie & Clyde’s La La Land snafu from last year.

ABC: 2 P.M.
Countdown to the Oscars, Live! Part 2

Exact same description, so I’m guessing they just had to split this up for the sake of DVRs everywhere?

ABC: 6:30 P.M.
Oscars Opening Ceremony: Live From the Red Carpet

They say: “Interviews with nominees, presenters and performers arriving for the awards ceremony; Michael Strahan, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Sara Haines, Krista Smith and Dave Karger host.”.

I say: Does NBC have the exclusive rights to call something an “opening ceremony”? Do you think they’re hoping to trick people like my husband into watching under false pretenses that it’s some sort of Olympic re-run, and not in fact the Oscar red carpet? In actuality, this is where anyone who has ever worked on ABC gets the opportunity to ask stars the most cheeseball questions, but I’m excited they have Wendi McLendon-Covey. I also have a small award show crush on Dave Karger.

ABC: 8 P.M.
THE OSCARS!
You know what it is. WE MADE IT.
