The 2025 Oscars began with Conan O'Brien hosting for the first time. He made the audience laugh with his opening monologue and greeted everyone with a "namaste" in Hindi, giving a sweet shoutout to India.
"Logo ko namaskar. Waha subha ho chuki hai to mujhe ummeed hai ki ap crispy nashte ke sath Oscars dekhenge," O'Brien greeted the people of India, wishing them a good morning and hoping they enjoy breakfast with the Oscars.
He poked fun at 'Conclave,' saying, "I'm a catholic boy, loved Conclave. If you haven't seen Conclave, it's log line is a movie about the Catholic church but don't worry."
He also joked about director Sean Baker's "Anora," stating, "Anora used the f word 497 times, that's three more than the record set by Karla Sofia Gascon's publicist."
O'Brien kept the laughs coming, joking about the evening’s rules and teasing Adam Sandler’s bright blue hoodie. Sandler replied, "I like the way I look because I'm a good person."
