One of the world’s largest video platforms, YouTube, has made a significant move in the film industry. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the platform has secured the rights to broadcast the Oscars ceremony live for free. The agreement between the parties covers the years 2029–2033.
Under the new agreement, the Oscars ceremony will be broadcast worldwide and made completely free for over 2 billion users. This decision is a major development for film enthusiasts, significantly expanding their ability to watch the event.
Interestingly, YouTube has acquired the rights not only to broadcast the main awards ceremony but also to stream additional events, including red carpet moments and exclusive studio programs. This offers viewers a comprehensive Oscars experience.
It is worth noting that from 1976 to 2028, exclusive broadcasting rights for the Oscars were held by ABC, a channel owned by Disney Corporation. Therefore, YouTube’s acquisition of these rights can be considered a new phase in the film industry.
YouTube CEO Neal Mohan stated that online live streaming helps further popularize cinematic art on a global scale. According to him, this will attract a new generation of viewers to the film world and make the Oscars ceremony even more accessible and widespread.
In summary, the Oscars are now entering a new era not only on television but also in the digital space. For movie lovers, this represents a more convenient, accessible, and modern viewing experience.
