Hulu's first attempt to stream the Oscars live experienced significant technical issues, leading to many users getting logged out or missing key parts of the broadcast. This has raised concerns about the capability of streaming services, like Hulu, as they attempt to compete with traditional television broadcasting. The incident triggered criticism from industry analysts, emphasizing how critical improvements still are needed for streaming services to ensure a reliable viewing experience. Despite the issues, a replay of the Oscars remained available on the platform following the event.
For anyone who watched the Academy Awards via traditional TV or were tuned out entirely, here's what happened. Disney decided to livestream the Oscars on Hulu.
It's super disappointing. It's a black eye on all of us in the industry," said streaming analyst Dan Rayburn.
Hulu's Oscars broadcast is far from the first example of a streaming service struggling to stream a live event.
A full replay of the event is available on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+," said the Disney spokesperson.
