Fans are outraged after Hulu ended the Oscars early after Streamer was plagued by failures

Streaming service Hulu was plagued by technical difficulties during the Oscars in 2025, including the experience of widespread failures and the end of their live event before the main prices of the evening were announced.

Social media users and fans remained sizzling after the livestream ended early, shortly after Sean Baker had accepted the award for the best director. Many missed the winners of the best actress and the best picture – which went to Mikey Madison and Anora.

“I only subscribed to @hulu for the Oscars and then they decide to prevent the show in front of the best actress and the best picture,” wrote a user. “What the hell?” Another added. “I missed the end of the Oscar because Hulu is garbage. SMH (shakes my head), ”wrote another user.

Others pointed out the unfortunate time of misfortune. “Sean Baker gives a speech about why film cinemas are better than streaming services, and then Hulu goes shortly before the best picture is announced … a typical example,” wrote a user.

“Hulu just started everyone from the Oscars show, while a director gave a speech and begged people to take care of films. Cinema! “Another added.

Shortly after the main event began, more than 34,000 customers stated to experience problems, according to Downdetektor.com. Users reported frozen and pixelated pictures. “Seriously? During the Oscars?” Wrote a social media user. “So ready to ward off Hulu,” wrote another.

Another added: “Hey Hulu, get your S *** together !!! Nobody can see #theoscars in their service now! “

Other angry customers demanded a refund. “Hulu now owes me a damn reimbursement. All of this advertising for streaming the #Oscars2025, just so that the website doesn’t work, ”wrote one.

“Hulu is below during the Oscars show? I will better get a discount or reclaim, ”wrote another.

Many fans were outraged to miss a performance by the evil stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, who opened the show with a medley of songs.

“F *** She logs me out and don’t let me let me in, so I missed Ariana’s performance,” added a user. “I missed that because Hulus f *** a **,” wrote another and posted a clip of the duet.

The support of Hulu reacted quickly to the outrage and wrote about X: “Problems with logging in? If so – we are there! Our team actively examines and we hope to put things back into operation soon. “

The account later added: “Our team identified the problem and those affected should be able to register again soon. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for hung there! Our team took the necessary steps to fix this. So you should all be set after restarting your device. We appreciate your patience! “
