Conan O’Brien hosted the Oscars tonight. And he made a commercial to remind us to watch movies where they should be watched: in movie theaters and not at home on a smaller screen.
He is 100% correct. I saw Wicked, Inside Out 2, and Sing Sing in a darkened movie house, and I loved them! I watched Emilia Pérez and Conclave on my tablet and shut them both off before they ended.
There is just something magical about going to the theater. Even the worst movie still has some redeeming qualities there. At home, I can’t find any.
Now, if only they could lower the price of a ticket, that would really help.
The Oscars are Sunday night, but Hollywood is getting ready for them today. So, Conan O’Brien, who is thankfully hosting this year, was there to help out and get his hands dirty. So, he, Anthony, Rudy, and Ignacio got down on their knees and rolled out the red carpet that the celebrities are going to walk on on Movie’s Biggest Night.
After just five rolls, he needed a break, so he laid down on top of the unrolled carpet because manual labor is hard for a man who will spend five hours telling jokes.
Seriously, I respect him for doing that. But then again, he is my favorite late host.
Who else is excited that he got the job this year?
There were rumors that Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds were going to host this year’s Oscars. But that is not the case because the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences named someone else to do it. Who is going to MC Hollywood’s biggest night? The one and only Conan O’Brien!
“America demanded it and now it’s happening: Taco Bell’s new Cheesy Chalupa Supreme. In other news, I’m hosting the Oscars,” said O’Brien.
“We are thrilled and honored to have the incomparable Conan O’Brien host the Oscars this year,” said Kramer and Yang. “He is the perfect person to help lead our global celebration of film with his brilliant humor, his love of movies, and his live TV expertise. His remarkable ability to connect with audiences will bring viewers together to do what the Oscars do best–honor the spectacular films and filmmakers of this year.”
This is a brilliant choice. Hot off of Hot Ones, people are realizing how hysterical this man is! And it is so great that he is finally getting recognized for it!
And talking about great! He is going to have so much with Wicked. It is the first event movie in decades. So I can’t wait to see him dressed as Elphaba! I wonder who will be his Glinda.
The Oscars are on March 2nd, and U will be there for the first time in a long time; there is a host and movie to root for!
It has been 14 years since Conan O’Brien was forced to say goodbye to The Tonight Show and NBC.
If the funny host had opted never to return to 30 Rock, no one would have a problem with that.
However, he has something to promote, so he is making the press rounds and will stop by The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on April 9th.
I cannot wait to see how it goes when Conan talks about Max’s Conan O’Brien Must Go, which debuts on April 18th.
Personally, I wish he was doing Late Night with Seth Meyers because they are late night’s best interviewers. So you know it would be an interesting and entertaining chat with a lot of yucks!
