Where was the ceremony broadcast?
The Academy announced that the U.S. telecast would air live on ABC and stream live on Hulu. It said the ceremony would air live in more than 200 territories worldwide. Availability outside the U.S. depended on local arrangements; the Academy’s announcement does not identify a single international service for every territory. See the Academy’s February 26 release for its broadcast statement.
Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.Does the announced list confirm who presented each award?
No. The releases establish whom the Academy announced as presenters before the ceremony. They do not, by themselves, verify who ultimately appeared on stage or assign presenters to specific categories. The list should therefore be read as the official announced lineup, not a complete appearance-by-appearance record.
