Conan O’Brien scored big laughs as the host of the Oscars 2025 ceremony, delivering several memorable monologue jokes and surviving a musical number that begged to be cut.
Among the highlights were his jabs at best actress contender Karla Sofia Gascón over her resurfaced tweets, a parody of “The Substance” body horror film, and his witty take on President Donald Trump’s relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. O’Brien also showed off his impressive physical comedy skills when presenting an award, getting stuck on a moving stage.
Other comedic moments included Los Angeles firefighters bringing the house down with their jokes, June Squibb’s hilarious revelation about being in heavy makeup for her role as Bill Skarsgård, and Adam Sandler’s embarrassing fashion moment, which earned him a scolding from O’Brien. With its mix of clever jokes and lighthearted moments, the Oscars 2025 ceremony was a hit in the laughter department.
