Oscars Moving to YouTube in 2029
The Oscars, which are like the biggest awards for movies, will stop being on TV after 2028.
Starting in 2029, you'll be able to watch them on YouTube.
This is a big deal because it's the first time one of the major award shows is moving completely to the internet.
ABC will show the Oscars until 2028, which will be the 100th Oscars.
YouTube will show all the Oscar stuff, like the red carpet and the awards themselves, for free.
YouTube has lots of users, so more people can watch the Oscars.
The people in charge of the Oscars are happy because more people can see the awards.
Some people are worried about the change, but others think it's a good way to reach more people.
Oscars will move to YouTube starting in 2029, ending a 60-year partnership with ABC.
ABC will broadcast the Oscars through 2028, including the 100th edition.
YouTube secures global streaming rights for the Oscars through 2033.
