Oscars leave Hollywood in major shake-up to awards ceremony

• The Academy Awards ceremony is set to move from its long-standing Hollywood home at the Dolby Theatre.
• From 2029, the Oscars will relocate to the Peacock Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, following a 10-year agreement with AEG.
• This significant shift coincides with the telecast's move from ABC to YouTube, marking a new era for the awards.
• The Dolby Theatre, which has hosted the Oscars consistently since 2002, will continue to do so until the 100th Academy Awards in 2028.
• The Peacock Theatre, which has previously hosted the Emmy Awards, will undergo substantial upgrades by AEG to incorporate bespoke design elements for the Oscars ceremony and offers a larger capacity.
