During the Oscar ceremony, host Conan O'Brien will acknowledge the impact of the Eaton and Palisades fires on the Los Angeles community, particularly noting the personal connection with his assistant losing her home. O'Brien underscores the importance of balancing the show's celebratory nature with acknowledging these tragedies. He expresses his commitment to infuse the event with humor and joy, while still touching on significant local issues. The Oscars aim to uplift, and O'Brien’s style will reflect an effort to entertain while respecting the seriousness of recent events.
"The Oscars is a show that is very much a hometown show. It's a Los Angeles show, so what's happened here needs to be addressed," O'Brien said while wearing a shirt that read Altadena.
"There's a needle to thread, there's a line to walk, and I'm determined to do that correctly," he said. "But I want to make sure there's humor, that we have some fun, and that we have some joy."
"All I've ever wanted to do is not be taken seriously and try to make people laugh. That's why I really like what that image represents."
