Sunday night marked Hulu’s first time airing the Oscars live. But its Academy Awards debut ended on a chaotic and frustratingly premature note.

Get it together Hulu. Some 2025 Oscars viewers who are watching the show on Hulu claim the streaming service has been crashing throughout the night. “Hey Hulu, get your shit together!!! No one can watch #TheOscars right now on your service!” one person wrote on X.

The livestream of the Oscars ceremony on Hulu cut out early for many viewers and experienced other technical challenges.

Hulu disappointed people with its glitch-prone Oscars streaming this past weekend, while TV viewing was fine. It was just the latest streaming meltdown for a popular live event.

UPDATED: Thousands of Hulu subscribers reported problems accessing the streaming service during the Oscars on Sunday, which marked the first time the awards show was available via streaming. For some, the Hulu livestream dropped just before the night’s best picture winner was announced.

Disney and Hulu's first-ever Oscars livestream has already been disrupted for many prospective viewers by a frustrating glitch.

It doesn't offer much information about why the livestream cut off, but it does confirm that this was a Hulu issue that impacted only "some" viewers. Mashable entertainment editor Kristy Puchko was watching ABC's official Oscars livestream and didn't experience any issues.
