Oscars 2025 to Make History with Live Streaming: Everything You Need to Know
The 2025 Academy Awards are set to break new ground as Hollywood’s biggest night embraces the digital era. For the first time ever, the Oscars will stream live alongside its traditional cable broadcast, making the event more accessible than ever.
When and Where to Watch
The Oscars will air on March 2, 2025, offering two ways to tune in:
Streaming: Available on Hulu for audiences who prefer digital viewing.
Traditional Broadcast: Catch it on ABC, the longtime home of the Academy Awards.
The event kicks off with red carpet coverage at 6:30 PM ET (5:00 AM the next day in India), followed by the main ceremony at 7:00 PM ET. This earlier start time aims to accommodate viewers who have previously missed key moments due to late-night broadcasts, which traditionally began at 8:00 PM ET.
What It Means for Viewers
Fans no longer need to rely on local channels or antennas to join the Oscars excitement. Hulu subscribers can easily stream the show, ensuring seamless access to Hollywood’s most glamorous night.
The Oscars will also reach a global audience, broadcasting in over 200 territories, allowing viewers worldwide to join the celebration of cinematic excellence.
Why Are the Oscars Streaming Online in 2025?
This historic move reflects the Academy’s recognition of shifting viewer habits. With more people cutting the cord and gravitating toward online platforms, live streaming on Hulu caters to a growing digital audience.
By simultaneously streaming and broadcasting, the Academy hopes to attract younger viewers and boost overall engagement, embracing the evolving landscape of entertainment consumption.
Who’s Hosting?
Comedian Conan O’Brien will make his Oscars hosting debut, stepping in for previous host Jimmy Kimmel. At 61, the former late-night television icon is expected to bring his signature wit and charm to the stage, with hopes of continuing the ratings uptick seen earlier this year.
The Oscars 2025 promises to be a night of glitz, glamour, and groundbreaking moments, uniting fans across platforms like never before.
