The Academy Awards is a famous film award show. It is watched by many people around the world. The Academy said the show will move from ABC to YouTube in 2029. ABC will still show the Oscars until 2028. That year is special because it is the 100th year of the show. The change was made because many people now watch shows online instead of on TV.
From 2029, people can stream the Oscars on YouTube. The show will be free to watch, and people do not need to pay. The Academy said the show will have many language options and captions, so more people can understand it. ABC said it is proud of its long history with the Oscars.
