This year, Conan O'Brien hosted the Academy Awards for the first time and fans loved him. The Emmy-winning comedian was widely praised for pulling off the show brilliantly.
The host took subtle to stronger digs at many people present in the audience and beyond. His subtle nod to Karla Sofia Gascón and many others made this year's Oscars a treat for fans at home to watch. But it wasn't just the way he hosted the show that won everyone over. People also adored how he left cute little goodies under everyone's chair at the Oscars.
Fans came to know about this sweet gesture when @CultureCrave tweeted about it on X (formerly Twitter). The tweet read:
"Conan O’Brien left a note and snacks under everyone’s seat at the #Oscars"
Many took to social media to gush over his thoughtful gesture, praising the host for the personalized hamper:
"Protect Conan at all costs." said one fan in response to the above tweet.
Other fans also joined in, with one person tweeting:
"Name a better ginger than Conan. u cant"
"Kinda obsessed with this" said another user.
"That doodle is really cute" tweeted this user.
Another person said:
"Conan always being the best."
"I wanna know what the snacks were" asked this eager fan.
The package included a cute note, Pretzels, water, and a Swedish fish. The note read:
"Dear star/star filler, I hope you enjoy these complimentary snacks. I tried my best to include a gummy, but Disney that was a "hard pass." Have a great night. Love Conan." and contained a doodle of Conan giving the peace out sign.
Conan O'Brien hosted his first-ever Oscar ceremony
The Conan O'Brien generated plenty of laughs, often at the expense of the nominees seated in the front rows.
"I loved Anora. I really did. Anora uses the f word 479 times. That’s three more than the record set by Karla Sofía Gascón’s publicist: ‘You tweeted WHAT''"
This was a subtle dig about the series of racist tweets Gascón had made back in 2020 and 2021. He further continued:
He further said "Karla Sofía Gascón is here tonight and Karla, if you are going to tweet about the Oscars, remember my name is Jimmy Kimmel.”
His next aim was A complete Unknown star, Timothee Chalamet's bright yellow suit. He said:
"Timmy Chalamet is up for best actor tonight. Love that suit, you will not get hit on your bike tonight. Safe!"
Conan O'Brien also took a dig at Adam Sandler, who was sitting in the audience wearing shorts and a blue hoodie. He said:
"Finally, for such a prestigious night, it’s important that everyone is properly dressed,” after which a funny banter was exchanged between the two.
Anora emerged as the biggest winner at this year's Oscars, securing five nominations, that included Best Picture and Best Director.
