Oscars 2010 Live Online: An Oscars or Red Carpet Livestream?

Some New Yorkers Won't Be Able to Watch the 2010 Academy Awards on TV. Is There an Official 2010 Oscars Livestream Online? Not Really, But There's Always the Red Carpet

This year, many New York movie fans are looking for a way to watch the Oscars via the internet as millions of Cablevision customers have been cut off from a local Disney-owned ABC station due to a fee dispute.

That has left some fans scrambling to find a way to watch the Oscars online. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any legal way to watch the 2010 Oscars online.

There are plenty of sites out there that will claim to have Oscars 2010 livestreaming, but be sure to proceed with extreme caution since they could be illegal feeds and or links to spyware/malware etc.
