Failure of the live broadcast of the 2025 Oscars on Hulu: all the details
3 march 2025 в 12:37
The 2025 Oscar Awards ceremony seemed perfectly planned for viewers. The broadcast was on the ABC channel and simultaneously live streamed through Hulu for millions of people around the world. At one point, host Conan O’Brien briefly greeted viewers in India, China, and Spain in their native languages, noting that countless Hulu subscribers were watching the live broadcast of the Oscar Awards ceremony. But just moments before finding out who would win best actress in a leading role, the Hulu live stream was interrupted, and it was not the only glitch that occurred throughout the evening.
Below you will find everything we know at the moment about the glitch in the live broadcast of the Oscars on Hulu.
At the time of publication, Hulu had not publicly discussed the issue with the live broadcast.
Around 10:30, the live broadcast of the Oscars on Hulu suddenly cut off during the announcement of the best actress in a leading role. A message appeared on the screen indicating that the event had «ended», - seemingly suggesting that it was scheduled for a specific time on the streaming platform.
Cable television users tuned into ABC could still watch the ceremony to the end.
Earlier in the live broadcast, Hulu acknowledged the glitch through their X account due to login issues. Within an hour, the streaming service stated that the problem had been resolved, tweeting: «Thank you for your patience! Our team has taken the necessary steps to resolve this issue, so after restarting your device, everything should be fine. We appreciate your patience!»
On average, the annual Oscar Awards ceremony lasts about three and a half hours. Hosts usually jokingly mention at the beginning of each ceremony that speeches should not drag on. During this year’s show, Conan joked about the nominees, saying that if any of them took too long to finish their thank you speeches, he would switch to a grim expression on John Lithgow’s face.
Several nominees were cut off by music during their speeches. However, actor Adrien Brody from the film «Brutalist» convinced producers not to push him off the stage when he accepted the award for best male role.
For Hulu subscribers, the 2025 Oscars ended approximately 3 hours and 34 minutes after starting at 7:00 Eastern Time / 4:00 Pacific Time.
«Anora» won the Oscar for Best Picture, winning a total of five Oscars
