The Oscars Will Leave Broadcast TV and Stream on the Video Platform Beginning in the Year 2029.
The Academy Awards are set to start airing only on the global video platform in 2029, signaling the newest substantial shift in the film industry.
The organization behind the Oscars declared the decision on this week, stating that it finalized a extended contract granting YouTube the unique international license to the Oscars up to 2033.
The Oscars, set for March 15th, has been televised for five decades on ABC. Starting in 2029, the show will be viewable as a free live stream on the digital platform.
It's a further major upheaval in Hollywood, which is navigating corporate acquisitions and consolidations, along with severe slashes to movie budgets.
"Our Academy represents an worldwide body, and this alliance will permit us to broaden reach to the activities of the Academy to the largest worldwide audience imaginable - which will be positive for our film artists and the cinematic world," said the Academy's executives in a announcement.
For many years, audience numbers of the ceremony have declined, even if there was a small rise in recent years, with a notable portion of younger viewers streaming from cell phones and desktops.
In a separate statement, the video platform's chief executive referred to the Oscars "one of our vital cultural touchstones" and noted that working with the Academy would "inspire a fresh wave of artistic expression and film lovers while remaining faithful to the Oscars' storied legacy".
The broadcast network, which has aired the awards since 1976, commented that it was eagerly anticipating "to the upcoming broadcasts" it will still host.
The move comes as major studios face complex corporate battles. Both options were seen as problematic for an business that has witnessed significant downsizing over the recent period.
Similar to major studios, cable networks have struggled as the public has increasingly opted for streaming services as an alternative.
The platform securing broadcasting rights to the Academy Awards clearly signals that dependence on online services will persist increasing.
