The Academy: 99th Oscars host and producersWhat is the Oscars?
The Oscars, the Academy Awards presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, are held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. The 99th ceremony is on Sunday 14 March 2027, honouring films released in 2026, with Conan O'Brien hosting for a third consecutive year. It is in this directory because the night is the peak of a months-long awards season, and almost every part of it that people want to attend is by invitation.
Who goes to the Oscars?
Nominees and their guests, presenters and performers, Academy members and studio and industry executives, with places allocated by the Academy. Outside, the red carpet is lined with accredited press. The wider week is a dense calendar of industry screenings, dinners and parties built around the same people.
Can you buy tickets to the Oscars?
Attendance at the ceremony is by invitation only, and no tickets are put on public sale at any price; treat any offer of Oscars tickets with suspicion. Most people watch the live broadcast on ABC, at 7pm Eastern and 4pm Pacific. The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles is where the Academy's public programme lives, and in recent seasons it has hosted Oscar Week events open to museum visitors.
What to know about the Oscars
The ceremony is the end of a season, not a single night. The Governors Awards are on 15 November 2026, nominations are announced on 21 January 2027, the nominees luncheon is on 16 February, and final voting runs from 25 February to 4 March. The industry's calendar of screenings, dinners and parties is built around those dates, and the Academy notes they are all subject to change.
Oscars parties and side events
Oscars night ends with the Academy's own Governors Ball, and the surrounding week brings a dense schedule of studio, agency and magazine parties across Los Angeles, all by invitation. Grand Circle organises none of it and sells no tickets, invitations or hospitality for the Oscars.
How to get to the Dolby Theatre
The Dolby Theatre is on Hollywood Boulevard. Los Angeles International Airport is the main international gateway, and Hollywood Burbank Airport is closer to Hollywood for domestic flights. Streets around the theatre are closed in the days before the ceremony for the red carpet.
Where to stay for the Oscars
Hollywood itself has hotels within walking distance of the theatre, though the area is heavily restricted around the ceremony. West Hollywood and Beverly Hills are where much of the week's social calendar takes place, and are the usual bases for anyone attending events that week.
