The Oscars ceremony is moving from Hollywood to downtown L.A. in 2029
The Academy Awards will move from the Dolby Theatre to the L.A. Live complex in downtown Los Angeles starting in 2029.
Hollywood’s marquee awards show will soon have a new home.
The Academy Awards will move from the Dolby Theatre to the L.A. Live complex in downtown Los Angeles starting in 2029, the film academy said in a news release Thursday.
The relocation roughly 9 miles away coincides with the ceremony’s shift from airing on the ABC broadcast network to streaming live on YouTube.
The Dolby Theatre has hosted the Oscars for all but one year since 2002. ABC has held broadcast rights since 1976.
The move heralds a new partnership between the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the nonprofit group behind the awards, and AEG, the firm that owns and operates L.A. Live, including the venue currently known as the Peacock Theater.
