The hotly anticipated awards ceremony is taking place in LA tonight.
The most star-studded night in the Hollywood film calendar is upon us and, while movie buffs the world over are waiting to see who scoops the awards, there's also the glamorous red carpet to look forward to.
If you're looking to find out how to watch the Oscars 2024 ceremony itself, it's has never been more accessible to UK viewers thanks to free, live coverage on ITV1 and ITVX – but you might be wondering if that coverage extends to the red carpet pre-show, as all the nominees and celebrity guests arrive for the big evening.
The red carpet has given us a huge variety of great – and sometimes rather awkward – moments in the past, and for many Oscars enthusiasts has become just as important a part of the evening as the actual awards show.
Tonight, A-listers including Barbie's Ryan Gosling, Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig, Oppenheimer's Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. and The Holdovers' Da'Vine Joy Randolph and Paul Giamatti will attend the Oscars and should be spied on the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre.
Unfortunately, it sounds like Anatomy of a Fall's Messi the dog will not be in attendance, following reports which have caused uproar among fans.
