Oscars 2025 Will Be First of It’s Kind in Hollywood History
- Oscars 2025 is bringing some fresh changes.
- Conan O’Brien’s hosting debut will be hilarious.
- Plus, streaming on Hulu makes it easier to watch!
Get ready for a big night in Hollywood—the Oscars 2025 are coming! The 97th Academy Awards are almost here and this one’s going to be iconic. Sure, we’re missing a clear front-runner like last year’s Oppenheimer, but that’s all the more reason to get hyped.
From a new host to the Oscars being available for streaming, and even a slight change in timing—this year’s ceremony is packed with surprises. If you’ve ever felt the Oscars were stuck in the past, 2025 is going to prove you wrong.
There’s a lot to look forward to, and we’re going to break it all down for you. So sit tight as we dive into why the Oscars 2025 will be one for the books.
Conan O’Brien is the First to Host the Oscars
So, who’s hosting the 2025 Oscars? You won’t believe it—Conan O’Brien! Yes, the legendary late-night comedian and TV host is finally getting his turn at hosting the biggest night in Hollywood.
For years, we’ve seen Jimmy Kimmel take the stage as the host (and honestly, he’s done a great job), but this time, the Academy decided it was time for a change. Enter O’Brian, who has made millions of people laugh over the years with his unique style of comedy.
His humor is dry, witty, and totally unpredictable, so we can expect some hilarious moments. If you’ve ever watched his late-night show or listened to his podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, you know that he’s a pro at turning everyday situations into something hilarious.
And it’s not just him—his assistant Sona Movsesian, who’s become a star in her own right, will likely play a big role (per Vulture). If you’ve ever heard Movsesian’s sarcastic comebacks, you know she’s a big part of O’Brian’s success, so we’re expecting some awesome team-up moments between the two.
Oscars Streaming live on Hulu for the first time
The Oscars will finally be available to stream live on Hulu for the first time ever! If you’ve ever been frustrated by not being able to watch the Oscars because you don’t have cable, this is the year things change.
You can now stream the entire ceremony live, from the red carpet to the last award, all from the comfort of your couch. Forget scrambling to find a TV or trying to figure out the cable setup—now, all you need is your phone, tablet, or smart TV.
Of course, Hulu is not the only place you can watch the Oscars, as the show will still be available on ABC, as it has been for years. But for all the cord-cutters and streaming fans out there, this is a game-changer.
And for those who love their Disney+ subscriptions, the Oscars won’t be streaming there. Only Hulu gets the privilege of hosting the live stream. But honestly, who doesn’t already have Hulu these days?
It’s the perfect move for the Oscars to reach a younger audience, the kind that’s used to streaming everything they watch. It’s time for the Oscars to embrace the future, and Hulu is making sure they do it right.
This time the Oscars are a little earlier
We all know the Oscars usually take place in mid-March, but guess what? In 2025, the ceremony will be happening a whole week earlier than usual. Mark your calendars for Sunday, March 2.
If you’ve been feeling like the Oscars sometimes take forever to arrive, this is going to feel like a nice change. The show will be happening earlier, so you won’t have to wait until the second week of March.
But that’s not all—there’s also a new start time! In the past, the Oscars usually started around 5 p.m. PT or 8 p.m. ET, but this year, the ceremony will kick off at 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET (just like last year). It’s a little earlier, and we’re here for it.
After all, no one wants to stay awake all night to see who wins Best Picture. Now, you can enjoy the show at a more reasonable hour, and it won’t stretch on too late into the night. It’s a win for those of us who still need to get up early on Monday.
The Oscars are always exciting, no matter when they start. And with a new host and a fresh way to watch, this year’s Oscars are sure to be just as thrilling. Who knows, maybe this change will make the show feel even more relaxed and fun. We’ll see!
