YouTube Academy Awards
An enthusiastic observer of YouTube buying the exclusive rights to air
the Oscars from 2029 (just after the 100th anniversary) to 2033, was
quoted as saying this is so great, because you could have a six hour
ceremony hosted by Mr. Beast!
I've got it. The YouTube Academy Awards could be hosted by a humanoid
robot AI, since by then most of the actors will be fighting against AI
replicas of themselves anyway! I wonder how YouTube will handle ads,
since Premium subs aren't supposed to see any.
