The 97th Academy Awards experienced major streaming disruptions on Hulu, affecting viewers who tuned in for the event. For the first time, the Oscars were available for all Hulu subscribers, but technical failures led to significant frustration. Notably, at a critical moment in the show, the live feed cut out, preventing many from witnessing key acceptance speeches and moments. Initial login problems were also reported early in the broadcast, leading to thousands of complaints on social media, highlighting the expectations placed on streaming services for live events.
This year, for the first time, the Academy Awards streamed live on Hulu for all subscribers, not just for those with the Hulu + Live TV plan.
Many viewers were disappointed when, at approximately 10:32 p.m. ET, the Oscars live feed abruptly cut out, with no way to keep watching the events unfolding.
According to Deadline, Hulu resolved the 'technical issue with a login system' and told viewers they'd be able to log back in.
On Twitter, thousands of viewers voiced their troubles with the streaming service, humorously drawing connections between Sean Baker's acceptance speech.
