The Academy Awards<\/a> will soon have a new home. Beginning in 2029, Hollywood\u2019s biggest night in movies will officially be broadcast via YouTube, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The multiyear deal between the academy and YouTube runs through 2033 and will give the online streamer exclusive global rights to the awards show, red carpet coverage, behind-the-scenes footage, Governors Ball access and more, according to an official press release<\/a> from the academy. The deal, according to the release, will also increase the awards show\u2019s accessibility and widen the academy\u2019s global audience.<\/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 Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy president Lynette Howell Taylor said in a statement. \u201cThe Academy is an international organization, and this partnership will allow us to expand access to the work of the Academy to the largest worldwide audience possible \u2014 which will be beneficial for our Academy members and the film community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kramer and Taylor continued, \u201cThis collaboration will leverage YouTube\u2019s vast reach and infuse the Oscars and other Academy programming with innovative opportunities for engagement while honoring our legacy. We will be able to celebrate cinema, inspire new generations of filmmakers and provide access to our film history on an unprecedented global scale.\u201d<\/p>\n

The shift will mark the end of the awards show\u2019s longtime partnership with ABC, which has hosted the ceremony since 1976. ABC, owned by Disney<\/a>, runs through 2028. YouTube, which is owned by Google, outbid additional offers, including one from ABC, according to an article in Deadline<\/a>. The video-sharing platform\u2019s first Academy Awards show will be the 101st Oscars ceremony.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Oscars are one of our essential cultural institutions, honoring excellence in storytelling and artistry,\u201d Neal Mohan, the CEO of YouTube, told Deadline. \u201cPartnering with the Academy to bring this celebration of art and entertainment to viewers all over the world will inspire a new generation of creativity and film lovers while staying true to the Oscars\u2019 storied legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

ABC told the Hollywood Reporter<\/a> in a statement, \u201cABC has been the proud home to the Oscars for more than half a century. We look forward to the next three telecasts, including the show\u2019s centennial celebration in 2028, and wish the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences continued success.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Academy Awards will soon have a new home.
