The Oscars' ratings plunged Sunday roughly 7% from last year, raising questions about whether the broadcast will continue its decades-long run on Disney’s ABC. 18.1 people watched Conan O’Brien make his hosting debut at the ceremony,

The teens were identified as 17-year-old Yeferson A. Flores Ramos of Hoffman Estates and Litzy Flores, 16, of Carpentersville, the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. Their deaths were ruled accidental as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning from the car exhaust.

Conan O’Brien is hosting the Oscars for the first time, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences is tapping a number of past winners to present — and has teased some sort of “unexpected” surprise.

Conan O’Brien mocked the Emilia Pérez scandal during his Oscar hosting debut Sunday night. “I love Anora — Anora uses the f-word 479 times,” he said as he took the Dolby Theatre stage for the 2025 Oscars at Ovation Hollywood. “That’s three more than the record set by [ Emilia Pérez star] Karla Sofia Gascon’s publicist.”

With a lead-in that included a sentimental tribute to fire-ravaged Los Angeles and then Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo performing several showstoppers from Wicked, “four-time Oscar viewer” Conan O’Brien made his Oscar hosting debut tonight with a lot to prove. And what better way than to emerge Substance -like from Demi Moore?

Both stars will be back for the movie's sequel, "Wicked: For Good," scheduled to debut in theaters on November 21, 2025. The Oscars will be hosted by Conan O'Brien and airs this Sunday at 7 p.m. ET.

The comedian and former late-night host led the ceremony replete with musical numbers and nods to L.A., filmmaking and the current political climate.

Oscar telecast had a high bar to clear after last year’s show, which featured an all-time great Oscar moment with Ryan Gosling belting out “I’m Just Ken” from Barbie, which not only blew the roof off the Dolby Theater but also broke Emma Stone’s dress.

Conan O’Brien kicked off the Oscars with a bang, opening his hosting debut with a monologue that poked fun at the films and stars nominated at Hollywood’s biggest night. Before the jokes, in a pre-taped segment, O’Brien emerged from the back of Demi Moore’s body à la “The Substance” and crawled out, not necessarily younger …

The Oscar ceremony had its flaws, as usual, but the humor was surprisingly good thanks largely to host Conan O'Brien.
