The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced that the Oscars will exclusively air on YouTube starting in 2029. The new deal means the awards show is abandoning its long-time partnership with ABC (owned by frequent Oscar heavyweight, The Walt Disney Company), though the Oscars will continue to air on the network through its 100th anniversary in 2028."
"The awards show will still be available on ABC through its 100th anniversary in 2028."
