Paramount+ currently offers subscribers the option to save 16% by committing to a year-long subscription for $49.99. Paramount+ offers the Essential plan with ads for just $4.99 per month this plan does not include your local live CBS station, but NFL on CBS and UEFA Champions League are available via separate live feeds.

If you decide you love Paramount+ programming after the awards ceremony is over, you can switch to a less expensive plan if that better suits your needs. Live TV streams will still have commercials, and a few shows include brief promotional interruptions to keep you in the loop on new and upcoming Paramount+ programming. This plan allows you to stream with no ads for just $9.99/month, or save by paying $99.99 for an annual plan, and includes your local live CBS station. Paramount+ offers two subscription tiers for accessing the service on its own, but if you’re a theater fan, you’ll need the Premium plan.

The streamer also offers subscribers movies like Top Gun: Maverick, Teen Wolf: The Movie and Devotion, and live sports action from the NFL on CBS, UEFA Champions League and March Madness (punctuated by highlights, replays and expert analysis via CBS Sports HQ). Plus, we’ve got an interview and a performance of an original track from popular season 10 Golden Ticket recipient Sarah Sellers, footage of deep-voiced robots and Japanese horror flicks, and an instructional video featuring classic Idol clips of Adam Lambert.But when you subscribe to Paramount+, you get access to tons of originals such as Joe Pickett, Rabbit Hole, Star Trek: Picard, Tulsa King, 1923, Mayor of Kingstown, Criminal Minds: Evolution and Wolf Pack. This week on Idoloonies, my guest co-hosts and I discuss rounds two and three of season 10’s Hollywood Week, from the pure joy of The Minors’ rendition of “Somebody to Love” to the abject horror of Tiffany Rios’ wounded-animal choreography on “Irreplaceable.” We also discuss the pros and cons of the week’s breakout Idol stars (Casey Abrams and Jacob Lusk), put the smack-down on those who need it (Jordan Dorsey, James Durbin), give props to some under-the-radar favorites (hello, Kendra Chantelle!), and consider whether or not Nigel Lythgoe & Co.’s “chosen ones” are worth the excessive hype they’ve received over the last few weeks. With the combination of sudden-death a capella singing, mandatory group performances (with a variety of drama queens, layabouts, and control freaks), and additional solo performances backed by a full band, it’s no wonder the Hollywood rounds often feature more tears than triumphs, more disasters than delights. If American Idol was a theme park, then Hell Week would be its emotional roller coaster.
