Watch Oscars 2024 Live In UAE: A Celebration Of Global And Arab Cinema
The most anticipated evening in the film industry is on the horizon, with the Oscars ceremony scheduled for Monday at 4am UAE time. This event promises to spotlight cinematic excellence, attracting viewers globally to witness the accolades unfold.
Regional fans can catch the live broadcast exclusively on MBC through its Shahid streaming service, specifically on AlThaqafeya, channel number 66. The channel, known for airing prestigious events like the Golden Globes and Emmys, will commence the red carpet broadcast at 3am UAE time, followed by the awards ceremony at 4am.
Among the eagerly awaited outcomes is the Best Picture category, with films Oppenheimer, Poor Things, and Killers of the Flower Moon in tight competition. Notably, Ryan Gosling's performance in Barbie, nominated for eight awards, is anticipated to create buzz, especially his rendition of the film's hit song I'm Just Ken. Despite this, the film's director Greta Gerwig and star Margot Robbie faced notable snubs in their categories.
Emma Stone stands a chance to win her second Oscar for her role in Poor Things, adding to her first win for La La Land in 2017. Meanwhile, Jodie Foster eyes her third Academy Award for her performance in the Netflix film Nyad, her first nomination since 1994's Nell. Foster has previously won for The Accused and The Silence of the Lambs.
The Best Animated Feature category sees Japanese anime director Hayao Miyazaki's The Boy and the Heron competing, among others, with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Miyazaki, a previous Oscar winner for Spirited Away in 2003, is renowned for his contributions to the animation genre.
This year's Oscars promise a blend of potential historic wins, eagerly awaited performances, and the celebration of cinematic achievements, capturing the attention of film enthusiasts around the world.
