It will mark an end to its decades-long tradition of broadcasting on television.\n\n
\n
\n The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has signed a five-year deal with YouTube, which will give the video platform an exclusive right to stream the Oscars beginning with the 101st ceremony in 2029 and running through 2033.\n
\n
\n Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Lynette Howell Taylor, in a statement, said, \"We 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.\"\n
\n
\n They further said, \"The Academy is an international organisation, and this partnership will allow us to expand access to the work of the Academy to the largest worldwide audience possible - which will be beneficial for our Academy members and the film community.\"\n\n
\n
What the deal brings\n
\n
\n Under the multi-year agreement, viewers will also get to watch live red carpet coverage, behind-the-scenes content, and Governors Ball access. It will stream live and free for YouTube viewers globally and to YouTube TV subscribers in the US.

\n
\n Film aficionados will also get free access to many other Academy events on the official Oscars YouTube channel, such as the Governors Awards, the Oscars nominations announcement, the Nominees Luncheon, Student Academy Awards, and the Scientific and Technical Awards.\n\n
\n
\n Viewers will also be able to watch interviews with Academy members and filmmakers, along with film education content, podcasts, and more, all in one place.\n
\n
\n On top of this, the partnership also involves Google Arts & Culture, which will help bring parts of the Academy Museum online. This means people can digitally explore selected museum exhibitions and programmes from anywhere in the world. Google will also help digitise parts of the Academy Collection, which is the largest film-related archive globally, with over 52 million items.\n\n
\n
\n Viewers will also be able to watch interviews with Academy members and filmmakers, along with film education content, podcasts, and more — all in one place.\n
