Hulu Apologizes to Viewers for 2025 Oscars Streaming Mishap

Hulu recently issued an apology to viewers of the 2025 Oscars after a streaming mishap caused the live feed to cut out right before the final two awards were presented. Fans were left frustrated and disappointed when the feed abruptly ended just moments before Mikey Madison won Best Actress and her film Anora took home the Best Picture award during Sunday’s ceremony.

Viewers took to social media to express their frustration, with many calling out Hulu for its “peak level of incompetence.” Some subscribers even demanded refunds or threatened legal action, claiming false advertising. Despite the technical difficulties, Hulu has since made a full replay of the event available for viewers to stream.

This year marked the first time that the Academy Awards were live-streamed on Hulu, a change from the traditional airing on ABC. Both networks are owned by Disney, making it a significant shift for the streaming service. ‘Anora’, a rom-com directed by Sean Baker, walked away with five Oscars, including Best Director, Best Editing, and Best Original Screenplay.

Whether you were one of the viewers affected by the mishap or are just catching up on the latest Oscar news, you can now watch the full replay on Hulu to see all the unforgettable moments from the 97th Academy Awards.
