In a seismic shift for one of television\u2019s marquee events, the Academy Awards will depart ABC and begin streaming on YouTube beginning in 2029, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

ABC will continue to broadcast the annual ceremony through 2028. That year will mark the 100th Oscars.<\/p>\n

But 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe 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,\u201d said academy Chief Executive Bill Kramer and academy president Lynette Howell Taylor. \u201cThe Academy is an international organisation, 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

While major award shows have added streaming partnerships, the YouTube deal marks the first of the big four – the Oscars, Grammys, Emmys and Tonys – to completely jettison broadcast television. It puts one of the most watched non-NFL broadcasts in the hands of Google. YouTube boasts some 2 billion viewers.<\/p>\n

The Academy Awards will stream for free worldwide on YouTube, in addition to YouTube TV subscribers. It will be available with audio tracks in many languages, in addition to closed captioning.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
