For the first time in history, one of the biggest nights in the entertainment industry is going to embrace a digital audience, alongside the traditional cable broadcast. Oscars 2025 is preparing for big changes as audiences’ consumption habits change.

Oscars 2025: Just a Hulu subscription is enough

Oscars continue to capture the attention of millions across the globe. For the first time, the prestigious celebration can be streamed digitally on the OTT platform Hulu. It is scheduled for March 2, 2025. There is a slight change in the timings.

Oscars 2025 is set to commence from the highly anticipated red carpet at 6:30 pm ET and lead directly into the main celebration at 7 pm ET. The Oscars earlier started at 8 pm ET, leading some fans to miss major moments.

By airing simultaneously on Hulu, Oscars 2025 organisers seek to engage younger demographics as day prefer digital platforms. For the loyal audience, this means they don’t need to scramble for antennas or local channels. Just a Hulu subscription is enough.

Conan O’Brien set to host Oscars 2025

In another major change, comedian Conan O’Brien is going to host the Oscars 2025 for the first time. Jimmy Kimmel used to host the celebration. The 61-year-old O’Brien hopes to maintain – and perhaps, further enhance – ratings.
