What Time Are the Oscars on TV?

Hollywood glitz and glamour will step out to hit the red carpet Sunday night as the 85th annual Academy Awards take over Tinsel Town. 

The annual Oscars, hosted this year by Seth MacFarlane, start with the red carpet at 7 p.m. on local ABC affiliate ABC 7 WJLA-TV. The awards show will begin immediately afterward, at 8:30 p.m. 

See all Oscar nominees here.

WJLA's Arch Campbell and Cynne Simpson will cover the show live from Hollywood. (See Campbell's Oscar win predictions here.)

Lovers of the annual award show can play "My Picks" and predict who they think will win on the Oscars website. Players can challenge their friends and watch the "My Picks" game update in real time during the show.
