Overview
- The Academy and AEG announced Thursday that the Oscars will relocate to L.A. Live starting with the 101st ceremony in 2029 under a deal that runs through 2039.
- The show will take place in the venue now called the Peacock Theater, with AEG planning upgrades to the stage, sound, lighting, lobbies, and backstage areas.
- The ceremony remains at the Dolby Theatre through the 100th Oscars in 2028 before the move downtown.
- After 2028, the broadcast ends its five-decade run on ABC as the Oscars begin streaming live worldwide on YouTube in 2029.
- The downtown campus clusters arrivals, the telecast, press rooms, and post-show events in one footprint next to Crypto.com Arena and the Convention Center, which already host major shows like the Emmys and Grammys as ratings for the Oscars slid to 17.9 million this year.
