"My job is always to try to walk a very thin line between entertaining people and also acknowledging some of the realities, host Conan O'Brien said during a Wednesday news conference with the Oscars creative team."
"Last year, the Academy announced that, beginning in 2029, the Oscars will sever its decades-long relationship with ABC and stream exclusively on YouTube. The shift to an online-only platform is a big shake-up for the Academy Awards, ending a tradition more than half a century old."
The 98th Academy Awards will be held on March 15 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, celebrating top films from 2025. The ceremony begins at 4pm Pacific Time (23:00 GMT), with red carpet coverage starting at 3:30pm. Host Conan O'Brien aims to balance entertainment with acknowledgment of current global realities, including ongoing international tensions. The broadcast will air on ABC with streaming options through the ABC app, ABC.com, Hulu, and various live TV services. This marks a significant transition period for the Oscars, as the Academy announced plans to end its relationship with ABC beginning in 2029 and move to exclusive YouTube streaming, ending over 50 years of traditional television broadcasting.
