Oscars to end over two-decade run at Dolby Theatre the same year it moves broadcast to YouTube
The Oscars are moving to a new venue, ending a more than two-decade run in Hollywood during the same year the Academy moves its annual awards broadcast to YouTube.
The Academy Awards will move to the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles starting in 2029. The venue, located within the 4m sq ft LA Live sports and entertainment complex will serve as the Oscars’ new home from the 101st ceremony through 2039.
LA Live, a sector made up of several venues and luxury hotels like the Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott, will host the red carpet and surrounding festivities.
The Dolby Theatre, the Oscars’ home since 2002, will continue to host the ceremony and its ABC broadcast through the 100th Academy Awards in 2028. The Dolby is located in the heart of Hollywood, flanked by symbols of cinema such as the TCL Chinese Theatre and the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
