KaveDweller February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 Didn't they start later? I always thought it started at 8:00, but this year it wasn't until 8:30. It has started at 8:30 for the last few years, and ABC airs exclusive red carpet coverage from 8 to 8:30. This year they started that at 7:30. But it is supposed to end by 11:30 and that's clearly not going to happen. I really like the Sound of Music by why are they doing a tribute? Just because it's the 50th anniversary?
