Conan O’Brien made a triumphant return to the Dolby Theatre on March 15, marking his second consecutive year as host of the Academy Awards. The 62-year-old comedian kicked off the 98th ceremony with a high-energy, pre-recorded opening sketch that saw him transformed into Aunt Gladys, the character played by Amy Madigan in the horror film Weapons.
In the bit, a made-up O’Brien was pursued by the film’s eerie children, eventually weaving through the sets of other top nominees, including a juke joint from Sinners and a Shakespearean stage from Hamnet.
Once he hit the live stage, O’Brien didn’t hold back, diving straight into the biggest talking points of the industry.
