Oscars confirm “unprecedented” change for future ceremonies in major shake-up

by

The Oscars have made a new agreement that will significantly impact how the awards show is experienced for many years.

As a huge movie fan, I’m so excited to hear that the Oscars are teaming up with YouTube! Starting in 2029, all the ceremonies through 2033 will be available for everyone around the world to watch. YouTube now has the exclusive rights to broadcast the biggest night in Hollywood, beginning with the 101st Academy Awards. It’s going to be amazing to be able to watch it all on YouTube!

People worldwide can now watch the Oscars live and for free on YouTube, including the red carpet, behind-the-scenes footage, and the Governors Ball. In the US, those with a YouTube TV subscription will also have access to all of this content.

This groundbreaking collaboration will make the Oscars more widely accessible. YouTube will provide features like closed captions and audio tracks in various languages.

The Academy and YouTube have formed a broad, long-term partnership, making YouTube the official home for the Oscars and all of the Academy’s content throughout the year, according to Academy CEO Bill Kramer and President Lynette Howell Taylor.

The Academy is a global organization, and this new partnership will help us share our work with a wider international audience, benefiting both our members and the broader film industry.

This partnership will use YouTube’s huge audience to bring fresh and exciting ways to experience the Oscars and other Academy events, while still respecting our traditions. We’ll be able to celebrate movies, encourage the next generation of filmmakers, and share our film history with the world like never before.

YouTube CEO Neal Mohan described the Oscars as a vital part of our culture, celebrating outstanding achievements in filmmaking and artistic expression.

Mohan stated that working with the Academy to share this celebration of art and entertainment with a global audience will encourage a new wave of creativity and film enthusiasm, all while honoring the long-standing tradition of the Oscars.

Starting in 2029, the official Oscars YouTube channel will offer a wide range of content, including the Governors Awards, the Oscar nominations reveal, the nominees luncheon, the Student Academy Awards, and the Scientific and Technical Awards. You’ll also find interviews with Academy members and filmmakers, plus educational films and podcasts, and even more exciting content.

The Academy Awards will continue to work with Disney ABC in the US and Disney’s Buena Vista International globally until 2028, when the Oscars turn 100 years old.
