The 92nd Academy Awards (Oscars 2020), the one ceremony Hollywood looks forward to, is only hours away and for those without a DStv Premium account, it might seem like there is no other way to watch the live broadcast in the wee hours of Monday 10 February.
However, we live in the age of the limitless where impossible is nothing. Sure, many South Africans will be tuned in to DStv’s channel 103 at 03:00 to catch the live broadcast of the Oscars 2020.
This does not mean that the rest of us peasants can’t find a back entrance to the main event and enjoy the privileges of the bourgeoisie.
