UPDATE — 10:22 a.m. ET: Following a technical issue with Hulu’s login system and some subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) users experiencing the Oscars stream cutting off early, Disney responded to viewers in a statement, apologizing for the issues.
“Yesterday evening, we experienced technical and live stream issues on Hulu which impacted some Oscars viewers. We apologize for the experience and will make a full replay of the event available as soon as possible,” a Disney spokesperson told ADWEEK.
According to a source familiar with the matter, there were also no advertiser disruptions on the night, as the stream on Hulu was a “pass-through” of the ABC ad breaks.
