Conan O'Brien's opening monologue at the 97th Academy Awards was a comedic highlight, featuring Adam Sandler in casual attire, which led to a humorous exchange between the two. O'Brien lampooned Sandler's outfit, while Sandler defended his style, claiming confidence and good character. O'Brien also entertained the crowd with jokes about nominees and early celebrity photos. Notably, he humorously suggested John Lithgow would appear discontent if acceptance speeches ran too long. Briefly touching on serious topics like wildfires and divisive politics, O'Brien quickly returned to laughs, concluding with a playful musical number featuring a sandworm from Dune.
I like the way I look. Because I'm a good person. I don't care about what I wear and what I don't wear.
O'Brien opened with jokes about the films that were nominated and some of the actors in the room, sharing some early headshots, including his own.
If an actor went on for too long during their acceptance speech, the camera would pan to Lithgow appearing disappointed.
O'Brien took a minute to talk about the wildfires, mentioning divisive politics but didn't elaborate, returning quickly to humor.
