Jordan, who plays the twins Smoke and Stack in <em>Sinners,<\/em> had only won the Actor Award when he came from behind to clinch the biggest victory of the season. He and Chalamet are similar in several ways \u2014 they\u2019re both under 40, and the Academy doesn\u2019t often honor youth. They both have blockbusters and indie praise under their belts. But Jordan stands out as humble and beloved by all. When Viola Davis announced him as the winner at the Actor Awards, her response was so enthusiastic that it <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-i13n=\"cpos:12;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/film\/news\/viola-davis-actor-awards-meme-august-wilson-judge-stone-1236679944\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:became a meme.;cpos:12;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkPosition&quot;:&quot;12&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;became a meme.&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\" class=\"link \">became a meme. <\/a><\/p>\n<section class=\"relative inset-x-1\/2 mx-[-50vw] w-screen bg-marshmallow dark:bg-ramones m-[40px] flex min-h-[250px] flex items-center justify-center\" id=\"mid-center-ad-5\"\/>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Jordan opened his Oscars speech by thanking his family, saying, \u201cYou all know how I feel about my mama,\u201d and shouting out his dad, who had flown in from Ghana. You could say he is impossible to dislike.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cKeep betting on me, and I\u2019m gonna keep stepping up,\u201d he said with humility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the audience, Chalamet looked supportive, mouthing \u201cYay!\u201d when Jordan\u2019s name was announced. I\u2019m sure the internet will still find a way to pick that apart, though.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u2014 <em>Kelsey Weekman, senior entertainment reporter<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Is the film industry destined to lose? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Oscars started off with a bang, with the program taking constant jabs at the impact of the digital age on the film industry. These were apparently inspired by the announcement that the Academy Awards will be shifting from broadcast TV to YouTube in 2029, and by the sense of existential doom that seems to pervade the industry. Several sketches took shots at YouTube ad breaks, viewers&#8217; shortening attention spans, and how vertical videos are taking over entertainment, thanks to Instagram and TikTok. Then the show concluded with a dark vision of the future, with MrBeast hosting. Several winners, including PTA, discussed the value of the theater, and Will Arnett spoke out in support of animation artists in his Best Animated Feature presentation.<\/p>\n<section class=\"relative inset-x-1\/2 mx-[-50vw] w-screen bg-marshmallow dark:bg-ramones m-[40px] flex min-h-[250px] flex items-center justify-center\" id=\"mid-center-ad-6\"\/>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But on closer scrutiny, these observations were undercut by a relentless marketing campaign for Disney, ABC&#8217;s parent company, and its upcoming slate for 2026. Anne Hathaway and Anna Wintour presenting Best Costume Design and Makeup and Hairstyling (in support of the sequel to <em>The Devil Wears Prada<\/em>) was one thing. Bits from the <em>Avengers: Doomsday<\/em> stars Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans were grating and lifeless, as was the riff from <em>The Mandalorian<\/em> &amp; <em>Grogu<\/em> stars Pedro Pascal and Sigourney Weaver featuring a puppet Grogu and Kate Hudson. These missteps all seemed to blunt the impact of the incisive satire earlier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It was particularly stinging that many international winners were cut off from delivering their speeches in favor of these prolonged segments. The future of cinema is genuinely scary, especially with the Academy forgoing broadcast, and this treatment of the issues didn\u2019t inspire confidence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u2014 <em>Rendy Jones, film critic at <\/em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-i13n=\"cpos:13;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/urldefense.com\/v3\/__https:\/\/www.rendyreviews.com\/__;!!Op6eflyXZCqGR5I!BHpIMXhRdwAY_cPZzus1W0hi6VjUDc1p3jCoc3ZImWryudUVMXvRNw85WbvdMzVjVb8BKgW8SpTyp32F48ZoEqY$\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Rendy Reviews;cpos:13;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkPosition&quot;:&quot;13&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Rendy Reviews&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\" class=\"link \"><em>Rendy Reviews<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<figure class=\"mb-4 relative\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"240\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg w-full\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/cscxfiAEDab9Dp0LABvaCQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTI0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/os\/creatr-uploaded-images\/2026-03\/a5194300-20bd-11f1-bfee-abf1403fad7a\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\" data-jump-link-target=\"\" id=\"conan-obrien-brings-whimsy-and-a-dash-of-sincerity-to-his-oscars-monologue\"><span id=\"conan-obrien-brings-whimsy-and-a-dash-of-sincerity-to-his-oscars-monologue\" data-jump-link-target=\"\"><strong>Conan O&#8217;Brien brings whimsy (and a dash of sincerity) to his Oscars monologue<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When the show&#8217;s host, Conan O&#8217;Brien, kicked off the ceremony dressed as the sinister old witch Gladys from <em>Weapons <\/em>(played by the first big winner of the night, Amy Madigan) and was pursued by kids (or short people) with little to no explanation of what was going on, I knew this Oscars ceremony would be for serious film lovers. Conan proceeded to sprint through the sets of the big movies of last year \u2014 from a ping-pong match in <em>Marty Supreme<\/em> to the play scene in <em>Hamnet<\/em>, to a brief stopover in animation land for<em> KPop Demon Hunters<\/em>.

He poked fun at Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet for his flippant comments about ballet and opera, which have been generating extremely annoying discourse for far too long. \u201cSecurity is extremely tight tonight,\u201d he quipped. \u201cI\u2019m told there are concerns about attacks from both the opera and ballet communities. They&#8217;re just mad you didn\u2019t mention jazz.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Also roasted? Leonardo DiCaprio, for his penchant for turning into a meme. Michael B. Jordan, who played twins in <em>Sinners, <\/em>was replicated throughout the audience as a seat filler. O&#8217;Brien concluded with surprisingly heartfelt comments about optimism and the magic of film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cLet us celebrate not because we think all is well, but because we work and hope for the better in the days ahead,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u2014 <em>Kelsey Weekman, senior entertainment reporter<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>The ballerinas exact their revenge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Shortly before Oscars voting closed \u2014 and almost two full weeks ago \u2014 a clip of Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, once a frontrunner for Best Actor, declaring in an interview that \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-i13n=\"cpos:14;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=424w9fJRgYk\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:no one cares;cpos:14;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkPosition&quot;:&quot;14&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;no one cares&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\" class=\"link \">no one cares<\/a>\u201d about ballet and opera went massively, inescapably viral. \u201cI don\u2019t want to be working in ballet or opera, where it\u2019s like, \u2018Hey!
