“Insiders say Disney execs were shocked to learn that the Academy had chosen the YouTube bid just moments before the Academy sent out its press release.” variety.com/2025/film/ne...

“Insiders believe that YouTube paid over nine figures for the Oscars, besting what Disney/ABC and NBCUniversal were offering, which was in the high eight-figure range. Under the most recent contract, Disney was paying around $100 million annually for the Oscars — but given the ratings declines for the kudocast, it’s believed that Disney/ABC had been looking to pay less in license fees.

Insiders say Disney execs were shocked to learn that the Academy had chosen the YouTube bid just moments before the Academy sent out its press release. Insiders there were anticipating the possibility of NBCUniversal grabbing the rights, but weren’t expecting it to wind up at YouTube.”

12 million people are expected to lose health insurance under Trump's new tax bill, with $1 trillion cut from hospitals and Medicaid. This is while it increases spending by $4.5 trillion with tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans and billions for ICE. It also adds $5 trillion to the debt limit.
