The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has confirmed a significant ten-year partnership with AEG, the organization overseeing the LA Live complex, including the Peacock theater. This venue will host the premiere of the highly anticipated oscars in 2029. This decision represents a notable shift, considering the academy’s foundational role in creating the awards themselves.
For many years, the prestigious ceremony has been held within the Dolby theater, a location established in 2002. An exception occurred in 2021, when a smaller event was hosted at Union Station station due to the coronavirus pandemic. This has provided a remarkably consistent base for the oscars, a fact rarely observed given the awards’ history of relocation.
Previously, the academy utilized various hotels across Los Angeles as venues, a practice common in the early years of the event. This evolved to the cinema setting mid-century. The academy’s choice to secure a long-term agreement where the oscars will be presented demonstrates a commitment to stability and a new chapter for the iconic awards.
