Score another one for YouTube: Despite what sometimes feels like an ongoing active effort to make it unpleasant to use, the platform that helped make a star out of guys like Pewdiepie, Dr. Disrespect, and Mr. Beast has made a big move into the mainstream media ecosystem with today's announcement that it will soon be the exclusive home for the Academy Awards.
That's right, beginning in 2029 the Oscars, "including red carpet coverage, behind-the-scenes content, Governors Ball access, and more," will be available exclusively on YouTube.
