The 91st Academy Awards are almost here and I can’t wait to see who will shine bright like diamonds this year.

The ceremony will stream live on ABC Go for viewers with a compatible US TV network subscription, but what about the rest of us?

Obviously, no one is ready to buy a cable TV for one night, even if it’s for the Oscar night. But luckily for us, there’s a simple (and free) way to watch the show, all that you need is a VPN subscription.

Channel 9 Australia will live stream the Oscars for free on 9NOW, its online streaming platform.

One trick is that the content is geo-locked to be available to people who are in Australia only. That’s how a VPN will save the night!

A quality VPN service like NordVPN ($2.99/month) or ExpressVPN ($8.32/month) will do the trick. Furthermore, a VPN will also encrypt your Internet traffic to protect your personal information from hackers, trackers, and thieves. This is especially important if you shop, use online banking, or pay for services online.

Here’s a little guide for y’all:

Sign up for a VPN. See my two favourites above. Install your new VPN and connect to a server in Australia. Create your free 9NOW account and head to the Live TV tab. Wrap up in a blanket with a glass of Merlot and enjoy the show!

How to Create a Free 9NOW Account from Outside Australia

It’s super simple — you will need to provide some basic information like your name and it will also ask you for a four-digit post code, note that here you will need to enter post code that’s Australian. Here are a few:

Let’s test everything out before the ceremony comes so that there’s nothing to worry about, and brace ourselves for a beautiful award night. I’m sure it won’t disappoint.

Oh and don’t forget to watch red carpet live stream on @TheAcademy Twitter profile on Sunday, February 24, at 6:30 p.m. EST. Enjoy!
