ABC News will be live from the red carpet starting at 5:30 p.m. ET, covering all the action.

Hollywood's biggest stars will don dapper tuxes and glorious gowns as they stop and talk to reporters about their films, activism and more.

Expect fashion trends, colorful ensembles and some sweet nominees bringing their mothers and fathers as their dates.

Show Time! Show begins at 8 p.m. ET on ABC

There's no word on how the show will be formatted without a master of ceremonies this year, but the Academy surely has something in the works.

Then films and stars from "Black Panther," "Roma," "A Star Is Born" and more will all compete for a golden statue and their place in history.

Of course the night isn't all about nominees as you can expect a night full of laughs and as always, Oscar-nominated songs.
