The move to YouTube will begin with the 2029 edition and run through to 2033.<\/p>\n<p>The Walt Disney-owned ABC broadcast network has televised the Oscars every year since 1976. Recent years have seen ratings for the ceremony, regarded as the film industry\u2019s most prestigious, decline as audiences move to online streaming platforms.<\/p>\n<p>The 2025 Oscars, held in March, were also simulcast live on Disney-owned streaming platform Hulu for the first time. Despite technical issues \u2013 including the stream cutting off before two major award categories, best actress and best picture, were announced \u2013 the show brought in a five-year high 19.7 million US viewers.<\/p>\n<p>That figure, however, remains far below its peak of 57 million viewers in 1998.<\/p>\n<p>No financial details for the YouTube deal have been disclosed. ABC reportedly bid to keep the Oscars, but did not want to overpay as the network has found it harder to turn a profit in recent years, the Reuters news agency reported, quoting a source familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube has confirmed the Oscars ceremony will be available to livestream for free, while it will also provide closed captioning and audio tracks in multiple languages to \u201cmake the show accessible to a global audience\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube has also secured the rights to stream other Academy events, including the Governors Awards and Oscar nominees luncheon, two events that have typically taken place off-camera.<\/p>\n<p>Heralding the move, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan described the Oscars as one of the world\u2019s \u201cessential cultural institutions\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\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 Mohan added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Organisers say the deal with YouTube will allow viewers to watch the awards ceremony on an \u2018unprecedented global scale\u2019.
