2025’s Oscar nominees are etching themselves into history, as the 97th Academy Awards are unfolding in real-time. Meanwhile, Conan O’Brien, making his first hosting appearance at this prestigious event, is leaving a lasting impression with his distinct humor. Despite being the host, fellow NBC alumni Nick Offerman and John Lithgow have also shone brightly during the evening with their dry wit.
John Lithgow Balanced Classic Comedic Timing With Gen Z Slang
Earlier tonight during our Oscars 2025 live broadcast, Mr. Lithgow had the honor of presenting the award for Best Costume Design. This award went to Tazewell, representing the eye-catching outfits from Wicked. The amusing moment showcasing this category featured Bowen Yang appearing in his own attire from Shiz University.
Caught off guard, Yang mainly aimed his comedic criticism at the new Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series, expressing that their newly formed friendship was no longer an option. However, since John Lithgow was also the lead actor in the eccentric sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun, his comedic skills serve as a master key for both understated and over-the-top humor.
In a manner that enhanced the scene for Hulu subscribers and TV viewers alike, Lithgow skillfully brought out the “cringe” at the right moment. Additionally, he paid tribute to costume designer Lisy Christl, stating that her work on Conclave, as described by him, was both spacious and accommodating, making it easy for him to wear multiple outfits without any issues.
Besides that, Conan’s use of John Lithgow’s “not angry, but slightly disappointed” expression as a way to cut short lengthy speeches was another delightful moment. Without uttering a single word, the esteemed performer managed to significantly enhance the show in its early stages. Now, let’s take a moment to acknowledge tonight’s narrator!
Nick Offerman’s Narration Shenanigans Have Kept The Night Moving
Instead of Conan O’Brien typically choosing his longtime sidekick Andy Richter as a partner in crime for the night’s antics, it would undoubtedly be Nick Offerman, whom I view as the embodiment of the American spirit, who he might designate as the official co-conspirator.
Just a short while after John Lithgow’s shining moment, the Emmy-nominated actor from ‘The Last of Us’, known for causing heartbreak, shared a humorous jest that subtly addressed the genuine stress of Oscar night. Given that O’Brien was the target of the joke, the wit and charm of Parks and Recreation’s rebellious character made this amusing remark all the more impressive.
During the 97th Academy Awards, there was a recurring theme of humor where the host was occasionally outshone. This happened even during Conan O’Brien’s opening act when Adam Sandler, a veteran from Saturday Night Live, managed to grab the attention away from him. On a usual Oscar night, this might seem like an overshadowing, but in this context, it didn’t come across as a criticism.
Given O’Brien’s usual style and his past with Saturday Night Live, it seems like everything is unfolding according to plan. Keeping vigilant for this type of pre-approved silliness will indeed be a delightful experience, as I eagerly anticipate what’s coming up next and who will join in the fun.
