And, as soon as the Academy Awards kicked off tonight, host Conan O&#8217;Brien addressed the backlash &#8211; and made a less than subtle reference to the viral interview. Within minutes of the show starting, the Oscars host said to the room: &#8220;I&#8217;m told there\u2019s concern about attacks from both the opera and ballet communities.
