The Oscars will stream on YouTube in 2029
The Oscars are headed to YouTube — in a few years. “Beginning in 2029, the Oscars will broadcast exclusively on YouTube for free globally and on YouTube TV in the U.S.,” YouTube announced.
YouTube’s coverage will include the red carpet, behind the scenes content, and Governors Ball access. The deal runs through 2033, according to an Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences press release shared by The Hollywood Reporter.
ABC will continue to broadcast the Oscars through the 100th edition of the show in 2028. Earlier this year, YouTube was rumored to be looking into acquiring the rights to the Oscars.
“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,” Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Lynette Howell Taylor said in a statement.
Netflix also streams a big entertainment awards show; it started streaming the Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on its platform in 2024 as part of a “multi-year partnership.”
