O’Brien is delivering a standout performance this year, with a monologue that’s more incisive than last year’s. He openly criticized Ted Sarandos for undermining the theatrical experience and dismissed last year’s Oscar winners as minor achievements. His relaxed demeanor suggests he’s fully embracing the role, and it’s surprising how much enjoyment the Oscars are generating. The ceremony kicks off with children chasing him onto the stage, marking the end of an era as he becomes the last human host. His opening joke about opera and ballet sets a playful tone, and the subsequent short film of Conan dressed as “Betty Davies with lupus” from Weapons adds a whimsical touch. The sequence features Conan evading children, racing through an F1 track, playing ping pong, and jumping between historical eras, including Elizabethan England and a futuristic KPop scene where he speaks Norwegian to Stellan Skarsgard. The energy is electric, and it’s hard not to imagine watching this for hours. The fashion front is equally striking, with a parade of bold styles. The fashion desk notes a prevalence of brown tones, feathers, and Chanel, setting the stage for the ceremony. Michael B. Jordan arrives in a sleek black suit with a Nehru collar and waist chain, exuding understated elegance. Paul Mescal makes a late entrance in a cashmere Celine cardigan, borrowing Ethan Hawke’s signature bolo tie. Timothée Chalamet opts for all-white attire, his Givenchy suit blending sci-fi elements with the 1940s setting of Marty Supreme, which previously featured orange as a signature color. His futuristic look hints at a potential role shift. Vintage flair makes an appearance with Miyako Bellizzi, the Marty Supreme costume designer, in archival Dior by John Galliano.#obrien #ted_sarandos #conan #stellan_skarsgard #marty_supreme
