The Academy Awards will be available to stream live for the first time in history on Hulu and ABC. The Academy Awards 2025 will be live on Sunday, March 2, 2025.
The Academy Awards annually recognize on-screen and off-screen merit and cinematic excellence in the film industry. Awarded by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Oscars take place in America and are televised live.
The Academy Awards 2025 will be the 97th annual Academy Awards. The upcoming ceremony's host will be Conan O'Brien who will be hosting the ceremony for the first time. The 2025 ceremony will happen at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood.
Katy Mullan and Raj Kapoor will serve as executive producers. Kapoor will also return as a showrunner. Hamish Hamilton will also return as director. The official nomination of the upcoming ceremony will be announced on January 17, 2025.
When will the Academy Awards 2025 stream online?
According to TV Line, this is the first time in the history of the award show that the ceremony will be streamed live. In the past, the Oscars have only been available on network television. The Academy Awards 2025 will be available to watch live on Hulu and ABC.
The ceremony will commence on March 2, 2025, at 7 p.m. EST and 4 p.m. PT. Audiences will be able to tune into the red carpet coverage at 6:30 p.m. EST and 3:30 p.m. PT. For those who are unable to watch the ceremony on Hulu and ABC, they can subscribe to Hulu and catch the ceremony the next day.
Many are excited about the upcoming Oscars, as the decision to stream the event will make it far more accessible than in previous years, as a subscription to Hulu is cheaper than a TV service.
What are some other changes in the Academy Awards 2025?
Streaming the award ceremony is a major change for the Academy Awards, as up until last year, the ceremony was only available on network television. Airing on ABC, the ceremony has been known for being one of the most-watched broadcasts of the year.
Apart from streaming the ceremony live, there have been some significant changes in the award ceremony in recent years. In 2022, the ceremony was cut short as eight award categories were removed from the live telecast.
While this rule was reversed in 2023 due to industry backlash, this was not the last change audiences saw in the award ceremony. The timings of the award ceremony have also been shifted from 8 p.m. EST to 7 p.m. EST. This was done to make sure the ceremony did not run late for audiences on the East Coast.
