Some new accessibility news from The Academy Of Motion Pictures Arts And Sciences this week, as the organization gears up for this weekend’s Oscars, its one big annual night in the spotlight: This year’s telecast of the event will be the first ever to be accompanied by a stream of American Sign Language interpretation.
Said stream will be hosted on the Oscars’ YouTube Live page, and will be in front of the paywall for the telecast at-large. The upshot of that decision is that you’ll be able to watch the Oscars with a second screen running, broadcasting the ASL stream for the show. (That’s in addition to the closed captions that ABC has been putting on the broadcast for years.)
