The Academy Awards ceremony will shift from the Dolby Theatre to the Peacock Theater beginning in 2029 and stay there through 2039. The relocation coincides with the Oscars telecast moving to YouTube after a long run on ABC. The Dolby Theatre has hosted the event since 2002.
The Oscars, formally known as the Academy Awards, are set for a major venue change. As first reported by Variety, the ceremony will leave the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, its home since 2002, for the Peacock Theater starting in 2029. Organizers plan for the Peacock Theater to host the show through 2039, marking a new era for the event after over two decades at the Dolby site. This venue switch aligns directly with a broader transition in broadcasting: the telecast will move to YouTube following decades of airing on ABC. No further details on the reasons for the changes or specifics about the Peacock Theater's preparations have been disclosed. The announcement highlights evolving partnerships in Hollywood's awards season landscape.
