Sunday night marked Hulu’s first time airing the Oscars live. But its Academy Awards debut ended on a chaotic and frustratingly premature note.

It doesn't offer much information about why the livestream cut off, but it does confirm that this was a Hulu issue that impacted only "some" viewers. Mashable entertainment editor Kristy Puchko was watching ABC's official Oscars livestream and didn't experience any issues.

There’s also the sheer length of the show. At 3 hours and 47 minutes, it was one of the longer Oscars on record (but not the longest, by far, as some ceremonies have lasted well over four hours). Longer shows can often be a harder sell to keep audiences engaged.
