"Everyone watching right now, around the world, is all too aware that these are very chaotic, frightening times. It's at moments like these that I believe that the Oscars are particularly resonant—31 countries across six continents are represented this evening, and every film we salute is the product of thousands of people speaking different languages, working hard to make something of beauty."
"I am Conan O'Brien, and I am honoured to be the last human host of the Academy Awards. Next year, it's going to be a Waymo in a tux."
"For those of you who look like me, I'm so sorry that it took so long to see us in a movie like this, but it is here. That means the next generations don't have to go longing—This is for Korea and Koreans everywhere."
Conan O'Brien delivered the Oscars ceremony with comedic commentary on various topics. He joked about security concerns regarding ballet and opera communities, made light of AI replacing human hosts with a Waymo reference, and offered political commentary with a Kid Rock alternative. He humorously critiqued Netflix's Ted Sarandos and Amazon's film snubs while commenting on healthcare through Shakespeare references. The ceremony celebrated international cinema, with winners including Amy Madigan for best supporting actress and Maggie Kang for best original song, who acknowledged representation for Korean communities. The show emphasized cinema's power to unite diverse people across languages and continents during chaotic times.
