YouTube has taken another significant step as one of the world's largest video platforms. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the platform has secured the rights to broadcast the Oscar awards ceremony live for free. This agreement covers the years 2029–2033 and will be available to over 2 billion users worldwide.
Under the contract, YouTube will not only broadcast the main awards ceremony but also the red carpet events, special programs, and other additional activities live. This will allow viewers to experience the Oscar atmosphere more deeply.
Previously, from 1976 to 2028, the rights to broadcast the Oscars belonged to ABC, a television channel owned by the Disney corporation. Now, YouTube is taking on this role, marking a new era in the film industry.
YouTube CEO Neal Mohan spoke about plans to popularize the art of cinema further and attract a new generation of viewers through online live broadcasts. According to him, this decision will make the Oscar ceremony more open and globally popular.
In conclusion, the Oscars will now be shown not only on television but also on digital platforms. This creates a convenient and modern experience for movie enthusiasts.
