Oscars to leave ABC for YouTube
Digest more
The Oscars are on the move. YouTube has won the rights to host the Academy Awards starting in 2029. The Google-owned service outbid other offers, including one from longtime ABC, which has been hosting the event since 1976.
The Oscars have aired on television for more than 50 years, but moving to YouTube proves that the Academy Awards never actually needed TV anyway.
The Academy has released its shortlists for the 98th Academy Awards, narrowing hundreds of eligible films down to contenders across 12 categories that remain in contention before final nominations are announced.
