The Oscars will soon have a new broadcast home.
WASHINGTON — After decades of airing on ABC, the Academy Awards will have a new home in a few years.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and YouTube announced Wednesday they had signed a multi-year deal that will give YouTube the exclusive global rights to the Oscars. That deal will begin in 2029 with the 101st Oscars ceremony and will run through 2033.
The Oscars will continue to air on ABC through the 100th Academy Awards in 2028.
According to the announcement, The Oscars, including red carpet coverage, behind-the-scenes content, Governors Ball access, and more, will be available live and for free to over 2 billion viewers around the world on YouTube, and to YouTube TV subscribers in the United States.
YouTube’s interest in becoming the future home of the Oscars was previously reported by multiple outlets over the summer. Earlier this month, Deadline reported that NBC had also had conversations with the Academy about taking over the awards show when the current deal expires.
“We are thrilled to enter into a multifaceted global partnership with YouTube to be the future home of the Oscars and our year-round Academy programming,” said Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Lynette Howell Taylor. “The Academy is an international organization, and this partnership will allow us to expand access to the work of the Academy to the largest worldwide audience possible — which will be beneficial for our Academy members and the film community. This collaboration will leverage YouTube’s vast reach and infuse the Oscars and other Academy programming with innovative opportunities for engagement while honoring our legacy. We will be able to celebrate cinema, inspire new generations of filmmakers and provide access to our film history on an unprecedented global scale.”
“The Oscars are one of our essential cultural institutions, honoring excellence in storytelling and artistry,” said Neal Mohan, CEO, YouTube. “Partnering with the Academy to bring this celebration of art and entertainment to viewers all over the world will inspire a new generation of creativity and film lovers while staying true to the Oscars’ storied legacy.”
