Oscars Move to Peacock Theater, YouTube Broadcast

0:00It's March 27. I'm Cory with the story. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, driven by AI and built for the culture. Big changes are coming for the Academy Awards. Starting with the 101st Oscars in 2029, the ceremony will take place at the Peacock Theatre in downtown Los Angeles at the Mardi. L.A. Live Complex. This new home run by Entertainment Giant AEG will host a show through 2039. The Oscars have called the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood home since 2001, but that era ends after the 100th ceremony in 20. 28. That final Hollywood show will air on ABC as usual. From 2029 on, YouTube takes over broadcasting duties for the first time. Academy leaders are excited about the shift. They praise AEG's expertise in high-tech venues and see L.A. Live as the ideal spot to celebrate movies for both live crowds and viewers worldwide. The partnership builds on a streaming deal with YouTube already announced last December.

Recently, Conan O'Brien hosted the last two ceremonies. This year's event on March 15 saw one battle after another, take best picture and five other awards, while sinners grab four. All Oscars coverage, including red carpet and after parties, heads to YouTube starting in 2029. This move promises a fresh vibe for the global movie fest as it enters a new decade.
