Washington DC, April 8

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced the dates for the 99th and 100th Academy Awards, according to Variety.

According to the publication, the 99th Oscars will be held on March 14, 2027, while the 100th Oscars will take place on March 5, 2028. Both ceremonies will be held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood and will be broadcast live on ABC at 7 p.m. ET. The telecast will also be available in more than 200 regions worldwide.

These two editions will be the final Oscars ceremonies to air on ABC before the broadcast shifts to YouTube from 2029. The Academy has also confirmed that the event will move from the Dolby Theatre to the Peacock Theatre starting in 2029, where it will continue for the next decade.

The announcement also comes at a time when ABC is expanding its major event lineup. The network is set to broadcast the Grammy Awards in February 2027 under a new long-term deal, along with Super Bowl LXI the same month, Variety said.

The most recent Oscars ceremony recorded 17.86 million viewers across ABC and Hulu, which was lower than the previous year's 19.7 million, according to the publication.

Meanwhile, the upcoming awards seasons are expected to see strong competition with several big films already in discussion.

The Academy has also shared key dates for the 2026-2027 awards season. The eligibility period will begin on January 1, 2026, and end on December 31, 2026. The nominations will be announced on January 21, 2027, followed by the final ceremony on March 14, 2027.

A host for the upcoming ceremonies has not yet been announced.

Moving to YouTube from 2029 is a smart move! Much easier for us in India to watch without expensive cable. But will the glamour and feel be the same on a streaming platform? Time will tell.

Viewership is dropping? Not surprising. The ceremonies have become too long and predictable. They need to reinvent the format to keep global audiences, including young Indians, engaged.

Interesting to see ABC stacking Super Bowl, Grammys, and Oscars all in early 2027. That's a powerhouse few months for them. Hope the Oscars don't get lost in the shuffle.

The shift to Peacock Theatre in 2029 is big news. Dolby Theatre is iconic! Hope the new venue can match its grandeur. As an Indian film buff, I watch every year, mostly for the fashion and speeches 😄

I appreciate the long-term planning, but the Academy should focus on the current awards season first. Let's see who hosts next! Would love to see an Indian host like Lilly Singh or Hasan Minhaj get a chance.
