The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced that the Oscars ceremony and related events will shift from traditional TV to exclusive global streaming on YouTube starting in 2029, under a multi-year deal running through 2033. YouTube will broadcast the main ceremony, red-carpet coverage, behind-the-scenes content, Governors Ball access, and other Academy programming, aiming to reach a broader international audience and expand engagement. ABC will continue airing the Oscars through 2028, including the centennial show. Academy leaders say the partnership will enhance accessibility and inspire new filmmakers worldwide. (PC: AP)
