TORONTO, Feb. 15, 2019 /CNW/ - It's the most glamourous night of the year in Hollywood and CTV's ETALK is front-and-centre, delivering unparalleled coverage of the 91^st Academy Awards^®, streaming live across the country on Sunday, Feb. 24 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on CTV, CTV.ca, and the CTV app. The OSCARS^® starts with Canada's own official red carpet special, ETALK LIVE AT THE OSCARS at 5:30 p.m. ET / 2:30 p.m. PT, leading into OSCARS^® OPENING CEREMONY: LIVE FROM THE RED CARPET at 6:30 p.m. ET / 3:30 p.m. PT on CTV, CTV.ca, and on the CTV app. Last year, the OSCARS was the most-watched entertainment program in Canada.

CTV's ETALK LIVE AT THE OSCARS is the only Canadian entertainment news outlet broadcasting live from the OSCARS red carpet. ETALK anchor and YOUR MORNING co-host Ben Mulroney interviews the stars as they arrive from his coveted position on the carpet, second only to host broadcaster ABC, while ETALK anchor Danielle Graham, and ETALK and THE SOCIAL's Lainey Lui report from the exclusive balcony position for a birds-eye view of the OSCARS red carpet. 

Following the success of last year's inaugural digital special, which captivated more than 700,000 unique viewers on Twitter in 2018 and was nominated for the upcoming CANADIAN SCREEN AWARDS, ETALK LIVE FROM THE OSCARS BALCONY returns for a second year, inviting audiences to join Graham and Lui live from the balcony position for a raw, in-the-moment red carpet show. Whether analyzing red carpet run-ins, gushing over the night's major fashion moments, or eavesdropping on Mulroney's interviews with Hollywood's biggest names on the carpet below, nothing gets by these two. In partnership with Twitter, the complementary viewing experience streams live at 6:30 p.m. ET / 3:30 p.m. PT on Twitter and CTV.ca.
