The 2025 Oscars are underway, and host Conan O’Brien brought out the laughs with his hilarious opening monologue. The comedian, hosting the Academy Awards for the first time, kicked off the ceremony with a sweet shoutout to India, greeting the audience with a namaste and speaking in Hindi.
“Logo ko namaskar. Waha subha ho chuki hai to mujhe ummeed hai ki ap crispy nashte ke sath Oscars dekhenge,” O’Brien said, which translates to “Greetings to the people of India. It’s morning there, so I hope you enjoy your breakfast with the Oscars.”
O’Brien then launched into a series of jokes about the Best Picture nominees, lightly ribbing each film. He poked fun at ‘Conclave,’ saying, “I’m a Catholic boy, loved Conclave. If you haven’t seen Conclave, its log line is a movie about the Catholic Church but don’t worry.”O’Brien then launched into a series of jokes about the Best Picture nominees, lightly ribbing each film.
