And so, the winner is… the 2025 Oscars! This year’s Academy Awards have been widely acclaimed as an exceptional tribute to the film industry, with a significant portion of the praise directed towards its host, Conan O’Brien. As the event unfolded, viewers couldn’t help but share their thoughts on this year’s winners and the show itself via social media. The overall sentiment was overwhelmingly positive, as people came together to applaud the broadcast, hailing it as one of the finest in the Oscars’ long-standing tradition.
For several years now, television ratings for the Oscars have been decreasing, but this year’s ceremony seemed to rekindle viewer interest, making Hollywood’s most prominent night shine brightly once more. The internet, particularly Twitter, was abuzz with positive comments about the show’s organization, the entertaining presenters (with Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan delivering a standout performance), and the hosting duties of Jimmy Kimmel.
In the build-up to this year’s Oscars, O’Brien gave a sneak peek into what audiences could anticipate during the event (broadcasted live on ABC and streamed on Hulu on March 2). True to form, the comedian didn’t disappoint. He kicked off the night with a witty opening monologue that took jabs at the Netflix film Emilia Pérez‘s controversy, and he kept the audience laughing throughout the evening. Many viewers hailed him as one of the best Oscars hosts ever, while some even urged the Academy to have him host again next year.
The Oscars May Have Found Its Golden Boy in Conan O’Brien
Conan O’Brien is well accustomed to being in the limelight, with over two decades spent as the host of shows like “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”, “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien”, and “Conan”. He has also contributed as a writer on “Saturday Night Live” and “The Simpsons”. Notably, the Academy declared in November that this renowned late-night figure would be making his debut as the host of the Oscars for the first time. In response, the Academy’s CEO Bill Kramer and Janet Yang expressed their excitement and honor to have him lead the show.
We’re absolutely delighted and proud to announce that Conan O’Brien will be our host for this year’s Oscars. With his exceptional wit, deep-rooted passion for cinema, and command over live television, he’s the ideal choice to guide our worldwide film festival celebration. His unique talent for engaging audiences promises to unite viewers as we do what the Oscars excel at – honoring this year’s outstanding films and filmmakers.
Jimmy Kimmel relinquished his role as host of the Oscars, and instead, it was handed over to Conan O’Brien. Kimmel had previously hosted the Academy Awards four times in 2017, 2018, 2023, and 2024. Now, the Academy has chosen a suitable successor for him. However, O’Brien must exceed Bob Hope’s impressive record of hosting 19 Oscar ceremonies to surpass it.
