Hulu’s Oscars 2025 Live Broadcast ends before the best pictures and I’m frustrated
Imagine watching the 2025 Oscar TV broadcast for 3.5 hours Dunes: Part 2 Sandworms, and failed single attempts Emilia Pérez Songwriters Clement Ducol, Camille and Jacques Audiard – just missed the last two awards of the night. When Hulu’s 97th Academy Awards live before Mikey Madison won the Academy Award for Best Actress, it happened to me and other unfortunate live streamers.
As some have pointed out, this move is Anora Director Sean Baker’s best director speech on the sacredness of film experiences in the streaming era. Baker’s words emphasize the importance of public, in-theater magic, the movies that could have been watched—ironically, this experience was weakened by the medium chosen by the Academy and ABC, who chose to use for live broadcasts.

At a time when streaming services promise accessibility and convenience, it is clear that technology-free events like this can still remind people of the vulnerability of relying solely on digital platforms for such important real-time activities.
The top story of chaos
This is not the first time that streaming services are struggling with major live broadcasts, and this may not be the last. The Oscars are a long history of events where people become progressively awards that gradually become nighttime awards. Missed the final moment, especially the coronation of the Best Actress Championship, which is a disappointment for those who watch at home.
After all, live events are more than just watching – they are experiencing them in real time, feeling excitement, and sharing these key moments with others. But if we can’t experience the last-minute excitement of the Oscar (and Anora) We can at least sympathize online.
