The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has inked a deal with YouTube that will give the video-streaming platform exclusive rights to broadcast the Oscars beginning in 2029, until 2033.
It includes streaming rights to behind-the-scenes content and red carpet coverage, and will make the Oscars available to more than two billion viewers on YouTube, according to a news statement on Wednesday.
“The academy is an international organization, and this partnership will allow us to expand access to the work of the academy to the largest worldwide audience possible,” said president Lynette Howell Taylor and CEO Bill Kramer.
“We will be able to celebrate cinema, inspire new generations of filmmakers and provide access to our film history on an unprecedented global scale.”
The Disney ABC broadcast of the Oscars domestically will continue until 2028, as will the academy’s international partnership with Disney’s Buena Vista International.
