Overview

  • The 101st Oscars in 2029 will be the first under the deal, with ABC retaining U.S. broadcast rights through the 100th ceremony in 2028, ending an uninterrupted run on the network since 1976.
  • The agreement covers the main telecast plus red carpet, backstage content, Governors Ball access, and nominations events, all free globally on YouTube with multilingual captions and audio; U.S. viewers can also watch on YouTube TV.
  • The collaboration includes Google Arts & Culture support to digitize parts of the Academy’s vast collection and to provide online access to select Academy Museum exhibits.
  • Financial terms were not disclosed, though Variety reported YouTube outbid legacy broadcasters with an offer exceeding nine figures during a competitive process.
  • Industry watchers highlight unresolved details, including how international distribution, audience measurement, and advertising or monetization will be structured on a streaming‑first platform.
