The Oscars Will Move to YouTube in 2029, Leaving Longtime Home of ABC

LOS ANGELES – JAN 10: Emma Stone, Seth MacFarlane at the 2013 Academy Award nomination announcements at Samuel Goldwyn Theater on January 10, 2013 in Beverly Hills, CA

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced a major change for the Oscars. Starting in 2029, the awards ceremony will stream on YouTube. ABC will continue broadcasting the event until 2028, which will mark the 100th Oscars. This shift announced Wednesday represents a significant move for one of television’s marquee events. Starting in 2029, YouTube will retain global rights to streaming the Oscars through 2033. YouTube will effectively be the home to all things Oscars, including red-carpet coverage, the Governors Awards and the Oscar nominations announcement.
