It's almost time for the big show. Finish up those final ballots and get ready for the biggest names in Hollywood to gather at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood to present the 89th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday, Feb. 26.

Jimmy Kimmel will host this year's ceremony which will pay tribute to the year's best films, including La La Land. The whimsical musical starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling comes into the night with a record-tying 14 nominations, but will have to compete with the critically acclaimed and groundbreaking Moonlightand Kenneth Lonergan's tragic Manchester by the Sea.

The important question, of course, is how can you watch all the action go down? Here's everything you need to tune into the big show.
