The 2016 Oscars are the can't-miss movie event of the year - find out how and when to watch it if you don't have a TV.

This year's Oscars will be broadcast live from coast to coast, Sunday at 8:30 p.m. ET / 5:30 p.m. PT. As always, they will play out on ABC.

Many people will be watching the Oscars this year for a variety of reasons. First, the prevalence of #OscarsSoWhite. With Chris Rock as the host and numerous black presenters at the show, many will want to see if anyone makes a statement, either powerful or comedic.

Additionally, there's the appeal of seeing Leonardo DiCaprio finally win his elusive Oscar. Every awards pundit on GoldDerby is picking him to win for his harrowing performance in The Revenant, so longtime fans will be glued to their screens to see if their favorite actor truly does win the big prize.

There's also big musical performances from three of the Best Original Song nominees, who just so happen to be some of the biggest names in music: Lady Gaga, Sam Smith and The Weeknd. Plus, Dave Grohl is expected to perform a special tribute.
