Emmys Moving to Amazon Prime Video in 2027, Oscars to YouTube in 2029

Major entertainment awards shows are shifting from traditional broadcast television to streaming platforms. The Television Academy announced a six-year deal for the Emmy Awards to move to Amazon Prime Video starting in 2027, ending decades on broadcast networks. Additionally, the Academy Awards are set to move to YouTube in 2029, as ABC opted not to renew its rights deal. This trend reflects declining network ratings and high rights fees, with streamers valuing the prestige and live audience reach.
