During the 97th Academy Awards on March 2, 2025, a large number of viewers encountered unexpected disruptions in their streaming experience on Hulu, marking the platform’s first live broadcast of this particular event.
On their official account, Hulu Support wrote, “Experiencing trouble logging in? Don’t worry, we’re working on it!” Later, the primary account also shared, “Our team is currently looking into the issue, and we aim to resolve it as quickly as possible.
At approximately 6:30 PM Eastern Time during this year’s Oscars ceremony, Downdetector, a site monitoring traffic, highlighted over 3400 instances of downtime being reported.
Online users voiced their disappointment about this event. On X, someone wrote, “This is disheartening, something that never occurred with traditional cable TV.
The original author wrote, “It’s fantastic that activation codes expire immediately and the only way to stream the Oscars is on Hulu; you’d think a company like Hulu would anticipate problems since everyone would be trying to watch the Oscars on JUST ONE APP!!!”
It’s amazing how activation codes become invalid right away and the only option for streaming the Oscars is through Hulu. One might expect that a service provider like Hulu would have planned ahead, considering that everyone would be attempting to watch the Oscars on a SINGLE PLATFORM!!!
The user of this platform shared that they are very satisfied with their $97 monthly fee, eager for the Oscars, and it’s the second time recently this has occurred. They might consider switching to YouTube TV instead.
In a while, Hulu Support posted, “Thank you for your perseverance! We’ve taken the required actions to fix the issue, so you should find everything working smoothly once you restart your device. Your understanding is greatly appreciated!
The crowd, excited to follow the event, voiced their desire for a refund and lamented missing key parts of the Oscars.
