ABC holds the rights to the Academy Awards through 2028, but some members of the Academy are quietly pushing to have the rights to the annual ceremony sold to a streaming service. “Here is the problem, as evidenced in the ratings for the Emmys,” an Academy board member tells Vanity Fair. “TV is going nowhere. So why don’t we just get our money (from a streaming deal), not worry about ratings, and call it a day?”
