The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has officially announced the dates for the 99th and 100th Academy Awards, setting the stage for a landmark moment in cinematic history. The 99th Oscars will take place on March 14, 2027, followed by the milestone 100th ceremony on March 5, 2028, marking a century of celebrating excellence in film.
Both ceremonies are expected to be held at the iconic Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and will continue to be broadcast on ABC, maintaining a long-standing tradition that has defined the awards for decades. However, these editions will also signal the end of an era, as the Oscars are set to move to a global streaming platform starting in 2029, reflecting the industry’s evolving viewing habits and digital shift.
The 100th Academy Awards, in particular, is being positioned as a historic celebration, not just of the year’s best films but of the legacy and impact of cinema over the past century. While specific details about the ceremony are yet to be revealed, expectations are already high for a grand, commemorative event that honours both past and present achievements in filmmaking.
Adding to the significance of the centennial edition, the Academy has also confirmed the introduction of a new Oscar category for Achievement in Stunt Design, which will debut at the 100th ceremony. This long-awaited recognition highlights the growing importance of technical and creative contributions that have historically remained underrepresented at the awards.
The announcement comes at a time when the Oscars are navigating changing audience dynamics and rethinking their global reach. By locking in these dates early, the Academy is not only ensuring a structured awards calendar but also building anticipation for what promises to be a defining moment in its history.
As the road to the 100th Oscars begins, the focus is set to shift beyond individual wins and losses, towards celebrating the art of cinema itself, making the upcoming ceremonies more than just awards nights, but cultural milestones.
