Academy Awards Livestreamed for First Time in 2025

Great news for all you movie fans out there! The 97th Academy Awards will be livestreamed for the first time ever on Hulu and ABC at the same time. This is a big deal, as it’s the first time the Oscars will be available for streaming, making it easier than ever to catch all the action.

While in Canada, it’s likely that Disney+ will handle Hulu’s streaming services, it hasn’t been officially confirmed how Canadian viewers will be able to watch the show. But don’t worry, more information will surely be coming soon.

In recent years, the Academy Awards have been gaining more viewers. The 2024 Oscars saw a significant increase in viewership, with 21.5 million people tuning in to watch. This was the highest number since 2020, showcasing a resurgence in interest in the prestigious awards ceremony.

Fans will be excited to know that Conan O’Brien is set to host the 97th Academy Awards, taking over from Jimmy Kimmel who hosted the show for two years in a row. This promises to be an entertaining night filled with memorable moments and well-deserved wins.

Mark your calendars for March 2, as that’s when the Oscars will be airing live. And if you happen to miss the show, don’t worry – you can catch it the next day on Hulu (and hopefully on Disney+ as well). Get ready for a night of glitz, glamour, and celebration of the best in the film industry!
