TV & Film

Dec 19

A long legacy is coming to an end, but the journey goes on. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has just announced that the Oscars will be moving from their broadcasting home of ABC to the YouTube website, a move that has already sent shockwaves through the industry. The Alphabet Network will broadcast the awards ceremony through 2028, the date of the 100th show. After that, the Academy Awards will move to online streaming via YouTube, a first for the ceremony. This deal also comes with a red carpet pre-show and behind-the-scenes content, along with other related content.

The Academy Awards were first established on May 16, 1929. Since then, it has been the most prestigious award in the American film industry and has been a highly regarded event. Since 1976, the television broadcasting rights have been held by the American Broadcasting Company, who have profited greatly from this deal. This new deal will bring an end to a tradition that goes back almost 50 years, and is a new stage in the online era. No one knows what will happen next concerning the famous Oscars, so that’s why we’re here to report on the latest updates.
