The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is actively exploring new broadcast partners for the Oscars after the Hulu live stream of the 97th Academy Awards ran into some technical errors. AMPAS's exclusive negotiation window with Disney has expired without securing a new agreement, leaving the door open for other streaming giants like Netflix and Prime Video. The current deal, valued at over $100 million annually, has been in place for decades and will continue until 2028, but disagreements over pricing have prompted the Academy to test the market for potential partners. he Academy’s decision to test the market is a bold move, and it doesn't come without risk. Disney has been a reliable home for the Oscars for nearly 50 years, but the Academy desires a larger payout and a broader global reach that platforms like Netflix and Prime Video could provide. However, the live-streaming mishaps on Hulu and Netflix serve as a stark reminder that not all digital platforms are prepared to handle an event of this magnitude...

Fifty years after it scared the world out of the water and into movie theaters, Jaws will be the subject of a new exhibition at the Academy Museum. Jaws: The Exhibition will be on view from Sept. 14, 2025 to July 26, 2026. The first exhibition at the museum focused on a single film, Jaws: The Exhibition, will feature over 200 original objects from the set of Steven Spielberg‘s legendary blockbuster — everything from concept drawings to costumes to mechanical shark schematics to a prop dorsal fin that appears in the film.

The highly anticipated UFO documentary The Age of Disclosure has its world premiere at South by Southwest Film Festival on Sunday, and filmmaker Dan Farah is finally ready to talk about his years-long secretive effort to make the most credible nonfiction movie ever about the buzzy topic. What makes The Age of Disclosure stand out among the thousands of previous UFO film and TV documentary efforts over the past several decades is that Farah only included on-record interviews with current and former senior members of the U.S. government, military and intelligence community with direct knowledge of unidentified anomalous phenomena (or UAPs). The result is a riveting look at a subject that’s being taken far more seriously in recent years as high-level officials make statements, release videos, hold hearings and take legislative action (like 2023’s bipartisan UAP Disclosure Act), which all lead to one conclusion: Something is going on....
