It’s awards season in Hollywood! With the BAFTAs, Critic’s Choice Awards and Golden Globes done with, it’s now time for the biggie to arrive on the scene. Yes, we’re talking about the Oscars, the uber prestigious awards event, the big daddy of them all. Oscars 2023, which will be the 95th Academy Awards this year, is slated to be held on 12th March, Sunday, at 5 pm PT/8 pm EST, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
Which brings us to the question – when and where to watch the Oscars 2023 in India? Well, we’ve got you confirmed information on the Oscars 2023 streaming in India. The entire Oscars 2023 awards ceremony will stream live on Disney Plus Hotstar. As for the date and time when the Oscar Awards will stream in India, given the almost 12 hour time difference between US and India times, the telecast time for Oscars 2023 in India will be early Monday morning – 5:30 am to be precise. To consolidate, the Oscars 2023 will stream in India on Disney Plus Hotstar, on Monday 13th March, at 5:30 am.
While interest in the Oscar Awards is restricted to mostly the English-speaking elite in India, this year it’s different. The hype around this year’s Oscars has reached a towering crescendo in India — and only for one reason. Oscars 2023 will see three Indian titles competing for an Oscar Award in various categories, and Indians are super-hyped for it. The most prominent among these is of course S.S.Rajamouli’s RRR, which is on course to win the Oscar for Best Song for its foot-tapping number, ‘Naatu Naatu’.
‘The Elephant Whisperers’ and ‘All That Breathes’ are also in the running for the Oscar Award for Best Documentary Short and Best Documentary Feature respectively.
However, that is not the only reason why there’s increased interest in the Oscars among Indian viewers this year. Another significant factor for it is a musical one – ‘Naatu Naatu’ is slated to be performed live during the Oscars ceremony. Singers Kalabhairava and Rahul Sipligunj will be singing Naatu Naatu live at the Oscars. We still don’t know if RRR and Naatu Naatu stars Ram Charan and Jr NTR will perform live on the song at the Oscars or not. But, we live in hope.
The Oscar Awards 2023, aka the 95th Academy Awards, will stream live in India on Disney Plus Hotstar on 13th March, at 5:30 am. Have a look at the announcement video from Disney Plus Hotstar –
