The best films of 2023 will be honored at the 2024 Oscars. Also known as the 96th Academy Awards, the 2024 Oscars will feature some of the biggest and brightest stars Hollywood has to offer, including Margot Robbie, Robert Downey Jr., Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, Lily Gladstone, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, and more. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will award Oscars in 23 categories, with the top prize being Best Picture. Jimmy Kimmel returns to host for the fourth time.

Oppenheimer leads the field with 13 nominations, followed by Poor Things with 11, Killers of the Flower Moon with 10, and Barbie with eight. Can Oppenheimer complete its dominant awards season run with a Best Picture prize, or can The Zone of Interest or Poor Things pull off the improbable upset?

What channel is the Oscars on?

The 2024 Oscars will air on ABC starting at a new time of 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on Sunday, March 10. This is a significant change from the regular 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT start time. However, ABC has decided to start the Oscars at 7 p.m. ET so it can air a new episode of Abbott Elementary upon the ceremony’s completion at 10:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. PT. This strategy is similar to how the network airing the Super Bowl airs an episode of television following the Big Game.

A new US Open champion will be crowned in the men's final on Sunday afternoon. After years of watching Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic dominate, new competitors -- including Jannik Sinner, Jack Draper, Frances Tiafoe, and Taylor Fritz -- are rising stars in the sport.

It all comes down to one final match. The 2024 US Open Men's Final will feature world No. 1 Jannik Sinner versus No. 12 Taylor Fritz. If Sinner wins, it will mark his second Grand Slam of 2024 and cement him firmly as the best in the world. For Fritz, the entire country will be behind him at Arthur Ashe as he looks to become the first American man to win a Grand Slam since Andy Roddick's US Open win in 2003.

After two weeks of competition, only two competitors remain in the 2024 US Open women's championship. No. 6 Jessica Pegula will face No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka in the 2024 US Open Women's Final. In seven career matches against each other, Sabalenka has five victories and Pegula owns two. Sabalenka defeated Pegula earlier this year in the finals of the 2024 Cincinnati Open.

For Pegula, it's her first trip to a major final after defeating Karolina Muchova 1-6, 6-4, 6-2 in the semifinal round. Pegula will look to cap off her magical year with her first Grand Slam. Defeating Sabalenka will be no easy task. Sabalenka is the best hardcourt player in the world, having won the 2024 Australian Open.

After the monumental All In at Wembley Stadium, AEW is back in the United States for All Out, the company's September pay-per-view event. In years past, All Out ran over Labor Day weekend.
