The prestigious and highest achievement in the film industry is back this weekend. After organizing Oscars without hosts for the last few years, the 2022 Academy Awards came with three hosts – Amy Schumer, Wand Sykes, and Regina Hall. However, Jimmy Kimmel will do the host duties at this year’s Oscars. The comedian already hosted the Oscars back in 2017 and 2018. Here’s how you can watch Academy Awards 2023 on FireStick without cable.
Attention, FireStick Users!
Governments and ISPs constantly monitor your online activity, and accessing copyrighted content on your Fire TV Stick could lead to serious trouble. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. I strongly recommend getting the best FireStick VPN to mask your IP address and securely stream your favorites.
I personally use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN available. Not only is it easy to install on any device, it comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee. Plus, if you're not 100% satisfied, you can always get a refund. ExpressVPN is currently also offering a whopping 3 extra months free on their annual plan!

Watch Oscars 2023 on FireStick for Free (Unofficial Apps)
Legal Disclaimer: This tutorial is purely educational. FireStickTricks.com doesn’t own, host, operate, resell, or distribute any streaming apps, addons, websites, IPTV or services. The page contains some unverified services, and we are not certain whether they hold legal licenses to distribute the content. FireStickTricks.com does not verify the legality of each app/service in all regions. Do your due diligence if you use any of the unverified apps/services, and stream only content that is available in the public domain. The end-user shall be solely responsible for the media accessed.
Most users simply forget to cancel the free trial, while some might not have a new email ID or credit card to become eligible for a free trial. That’s why we recommend going with free apps to watch the Oscars 2023 on FireStick. But you shouldn’t browse content from these apps without an ExpressVPN connection.
Before you go ahead with free apps, you need to shield your FireStick browsing from your government and ISP (Internet Service Provider). The reason is some of these apps might carry unlicensed content, and it can be difficult for a normal consumer to differentiate such content from licensed content.
You can use ExpressVPN on FireStick, connect to another country’s server, and enjoy all free apps without any legal troubles in the future.
Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.
Step 2: Power ON your Fire TV Stick and go to Find followed by Search option.
Step 3: Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results.
Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app on Fire TV / Stick.
Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials that you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign in.
Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.

Free Entertainment Apps and Kodi Addons
Free entertainment apps offer movies, TV shows, and live coverage of the Academy Awards without paying a dime. I would advise going with two or three free apps on FireStick.
If you use Kodi on FireStick (if not, I will highly recommend using it), you can integrate the best Kodi addons with the main app and start watching Oscars 2022 on FireStick for free.
Streaming Websites
Streaming websites offer free content to watch on your FireStick. You need to use the Amazon Silk browser on FireStick to browse these websites.
IPTV Services
IPTV services offer relevant channels to watch the Oscars 2022 without cable. You can pick an IPTV service and integrate it with an IPTV player on FireStick.
