The Oscars are leaving traditional television. Starting in 2029, the Academy Awards ceremony will stream live worldwide on YouTube.
This move ends a decades-long broadcast partnership with the ABC network in the United States. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the change.
Officials stated the shift to a global streaming platform better reflects the international audience for the awards. The decision highlights major industry trends, including declining television ratings and the dominance of digital streaming services.
The change is one of the most significant in Oscar history. It signals how streaming continues to reshape Hollywood and global entertainment.
