If you are trying to watch the Oscars without cable, you’re out of luck. Unlike some streams that come with no strings attached, if you want to watch the Oscars online you will need a participating cable or satellite subscription to unlock the live stream. Viewers need a subscription through;  Comcast, Cox, MidContinent, Verizon FiOS, Google Fiber, Charter or AT&T U-Verse. Noticeably absent are Time Warner Cable, DirecTV and Dish Network.

Users will need to sign in on the Watch ABC app and online at ABC. Users may need to get a username and password from their TV provider if they don’t already have one.

Users can Watch the Oscars online on the web, on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Android devices, Kindle Fire and Windows 8. The iPhone, iPad and Android tablets are at the top of the list for a good user experience while away from the TV. Users only need an internet connection to watch the Oscars live stream, so this is a good way to watch on the go or if you are stuck away from home while the Oscars are on.

For users that cannot watch the Oscars live stream on Watch ABC due to the company they use for TV service the Oscars website will include popular clips from the show within 10 minutes of airing on HDTV. According to Variety these clips will include the musical numbers including, Pharrell “Happy”, Idina Menzel “Let It Go”, Karin O “The Moon Song” and U2 “Ordinary Love”.

Users that want to see more can also tune in to the special Jimmy Kimmel Live: After the Oscars show at 10Pm Pacific.

    The show is being aired on ABC and their website shows no signs of a live feed.
    Here’s the feed from us Oscar 2014 Live Stream Telecast – hopefully it works for you guys.

    Begs the question… If I had cable, why would I stream it? ABC has lost their minds. It’s those of us without cable who want to be able to stream it, not those who already have it. Duh.

    Agree. This is ridiculous. This online streaming of stuff that’s already available on regular tv is getting more and more out of hand. Subscriptions for this and for that… Isn’t the internet supposed to eliminate all that? We’re already paying for it.

    I agree with everyone – ABC is stupidly ‘missing the boat’ with those of us who would pay to watch just the Oscars, but we do Not Want a full-time cable or dish contract. Wake up ABC folks!!!!!!
