Oscars to Stream Live on Hulu in 2025

The 97th Academy Awards, scheduled for March 2, 2025, will mark a historic first by streaming live on Hulu, in addition to airing on ABC. This significant shift aims to enhance accessibility and reach a broader audience amid changing viewing habits, as the Oscars have traditionally been broadcasted only on television. Comedian Conan O’Brien will host the event, with experienced producers and directors overseeing the production, ensuring a high-quality presentation. The ceremony will also be available for on-demand viewing on Hulu the following day, reflecting a growing trend of award shows embracing streaming platforms. Anticipation builds around nominated films, with the official nominations set to be announced on January 17, 2025. The Oscars' move to streaming is expected to boost viewership significantly, potentially surpassing 30 million viewers.
