On Sunday night, Hollywood's biggest stars will gather in Los Angeles for the 88th annual Academy Awards. And while millions of cable-subscribing viewers will tune in to see what host Chris Rock has to say about #OscarsSoWhite, whether Leonardo DiCaprio finally earns himself a statuette, and more, there's still plenty of glamorous Oscars content available to the cord-cutters out there.
While ABC is streaming the show on its WatchABC app and website, both streams will require a valid cable log-in (more details on cable-enabled streaming here). But if you don't have one of those (or aren't willing to borrow one from a friend), fear not: You can still get your fill of the glitz and glamor through separate, free streams that will be showing red carpet coverage, backstage glimpses, and more. Recode has the full list of alternate streams here, so check out the options and adjust your Oscars drinking games accordingly.
