The 2025 Oscars lastly arrived as a part of the 2025 TV schedule final night time, with Conan O’Brien internet hosting the ceremony. O’Brien’s opening monologue and subsequent jokes had been principally properly acquired, as he bought in some nice zingers. No matter any ideas on his work, although, he deserves a whole lot of credit score for offering snacks throughout the occasion. Though, humorous sufficient, Disney had an objection when it got here to one of many treats he needed to offer viewers members.
Total, the 97th Academy Awards had been filled with surprises. Amongst them had been Mikey Madison’s Greatest Actress win and I am Nonetheless Right here taking Greatest Worldwide Characteristic. What I actually wasn’t anticipating, although, was for the 2025 Oscar winners, and the remainder of the viewers, to obtain goodie bins left by Mr. O’Brien. A pretzel and water bottle had been among the many choices. There was additionally a observe, which revealed the merchandise Disney stated was a “onerous go”:

As humorous because the inclusion of a gummy would’ve been, I can perceive why the Home of Mouse would’ve been hesitant to supply that. Regardless, that temporary letter was a pleasant contact and may be very a lot consistent with the previous TV discuss present host’s comedic type. The treats that had been supplied represented a candy gesture, because the night does get lengthy, and expertise can get hungry throughout it. (Nonetheless, I ponder what number of stars within the room would’ve appreciated a gummy.)
All the identical, many within the feedback of the X publish had been praising the Simpsons alum’s internet hosting efforts and the care bundle he left for celebrities and seat fillers. Have a look:
Conan O’Brien — an skilled comic and host — dished out loads of nice comedy bits. (You possibly can see a few of his highlights with CinemaBlend’s dwell weblog of the Academy Awards.) All in all, I might say he made a critical splash on the present in the very best means.
In fact, now that the 2024 awards season is over, followers can actually flip their consideration to the 2025 film schedule because it continues to unfold. And, apparently sufficient, the aforementioned Oscars host has a movie on the docket. O’Brien’s position within the new A24 film, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, has already garnered optimistic buzz, and one has to surprise if he’ll discover himself on the Oscars as a nominee round this time subsequent 12 months.
Regardless, I am by no means going to overlook Conan O’Brien’s snack field items, and that type of gesture is only one cause why he needs to be tapped to host once more. I might hope that he would distribute extra snacks if he returns. Simply do not anticipate a gummy to be concerned, ought to Disney proceed to carry the rights to the published. In the event you’d prefer to rewatch this 12 months’s Academy Awards, you’ll be able to stream it with a Hulu subscription.
