The Oscars will not be shown in Hong Kong for the first time in more than half a century, its local broadcaster confirmed Monday, as doubts remained over whether Hollywood’s top awards will air in mainland China.
The ceremony has been broadcast in Hong Kong every year since 1969 by free-to-air TVB on its English language channel but no channel will carry next month’s awards.
“It was purely a commercial decision that we decided not to pursue the Oscars this year,” a TVB spokesperson told AFP.
