The annual Academy Awards broadcast will undergo a major change following its 100th birthday in 2028.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced on Wednesday, December 17, that the Oscars will move from its longtime home at ABC and begin streaming exclusively on YouTube starting in 2029. The move was announced as an effort to make the awards show more accessible to international audiences.
