For the first time ever, the 2025 Oscars ceremony will air on ABC and be streamed live on Hulu at the same time. The annual awards show, which has aired on the broadcast network for a whopping 50 years, can be streamed by all Hulu subscribers starting at 7 p.m. ET on March 2, 2025. The Oscars will also be available to stream on Hulu the next day.

The Oscars is finally giving streaming fans what they want. The Academy Awards will be live on Hulu and ABC simultaneously, marking the first time the ceremony will be available on the streaming platform at the same time,

The Oscars joins the other big awards show early next year, the 2025 Golden Globes, which will stream on Paramount+ alongside being aired live on CBS. Clearly, there is an effort now to make these shows available on streaming. It adds value to the platform and it’s clearly where a lot of the audience wants to be watching.
