Didn't it feel good seeing this start at a reasonable time?
Did you expect that optimism would fade later on?
Wasn't that L.A. tribute montage incredibly short given the circumstances?
Can you believe they were seriously considering not have any musical performances on the show at all?
Was that a rhetorical question?
Were you expecting Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande to perform in character?
Was that maybe asking a little too much?
Okay then, how about Chalamet?
Out of all the nominees Conan could insert himself into, wasn't 'The Substance' the best choice?
Wasn't his joke about Netflix's constant price hikes the cold, hard truth?
Just like the one about Karla Sofía Gascón's publicist?
Didn't you know he'd immediately go there with the Gascón jabs?
And why shouldn't he?
Can you believe she actually attended?
A sand worm playing the piano?
While the musical number was funny, did you think "I Won't Waste Time" was a promise Conan wouldn't be able to keep?
And wasn't that kind of the song's point?
With the exception of Chalamet's ultrasound, didn't those celebrity headshots resemble not so embarrassing high school yearbook photos?
How about that Adam Sandler bit?
Did Robert Downey Jr. ramble or what?
Are they really not showing any film clips of the nominees...again?
Were you worried they'd present every category like that?
With the Culkin win, was everyone officially guaranteed one right on their ballots?
Sort of like he and his wife are officially guaranteed two more kids?
So, they're showing clips after all?
Did anyone correctly predict Animated Short?
In any year?
Ever?
Didn't the costume nominees presentation take up a lot of time?
What would Conan say about that?
Wasn't Nick Offerman the ideal choice for announcer?
Were you thinking that Original Screenplay win was a promising early sign for 'Anora?'
Or were you thinking that Adapted Screenplay win was a promising early sign for 'Conclave?'
Weren't June Squibb and Scarlett Johansson an inspired pairing?
Did Squibb display the best comedic timing of any presenter?
In the event of an Adrien Brody win, wouldn't it be better to have Halle Berry announce Best Actor?
Is isn't absurd how Margaret Qualley had to be a part of the James Bond tribute to get onto the Oscars?
So, they decided to go all in on the musical performances anyway?
'Cinemastreams?'
Was that the first time we've seen Darryl Hannah in over a decade?
Did that editing loss seal 'Conclave's' fate?
Why were they not showing clips for the Supporting Actor and Actress nominees?
When Zoe won were you wondering if she'd mention Karla Sofía Gascón?
If you still wanted a career after this, would you?
Was that Rolex commercial better than just about any Oscar montage?
Mick Jagger?!
Isn't he unsurprisingly great at this whole presenting thing?
Did you think the 16th time would be the charm for Diane Warren?
Did anyone correctly predict Documentary Short?
In any year?
Ever?
Am I in shock that I actually did?
Would "guessed" be a more accurate word than "predicted" in this instance?
Miles Teller and Miley Cyrus?
Are they Conan's version of Letterman's Oprah and Uma?
Was Conan's 'Anora' joke about "standing up to a powerful Russian" the line of the night?
Am I the only one perplexed at the level of online hate directed toward Rachel Zegler?
Doesn't that 'Better Man' movie look ridiculous?
Did my luck run out with Live-Action Short?
Didn't everyone's?
Wasn't that a classy tribute to Gene Hackman from Morgan Freeman?
Wasn't it jarring to see how many big names we lost over the past year?
And surreal seeing Shelley Duvall, David Lynch, James Earl Jones and Gene Hackman listed consecutively at the end of the montage?
Did you yell "Oh no, not again!" when you realized they excluded Michelle Trachtenberg?
How can they so royally screw this up every year?
Are they trying to upset viewers?
Was 'I'm Still Here' winning Best International Feature the ultimate slap in the face to 'Emilia Pérez?'
Wasn't that sort of expected?
Does it get any better than Mark Hamill coming out to John Williams?
Was Best Actor the most suspenseful award of the night?
Did you breathe a sigh of relief or disappointment when Adrien Brody won?
Was Cillian Murphy worried Brody would try to kiss him?
Did Brody's gum tossing top his infamous Halle Berry moment?
Was his speech longer than 'The Brutalist?'
Did you notice Tarantino nodding and clapping with approval when Sean Baker talked about the importance of preserving the theatrical experience?
Was he preaching to the choir with that one?
After seeing the poorly chosen Demi Moore clip, were you worried she may not have this in the bag after all?
Did 'Anora''s screenplay, editing and directing wins forecast Mikey taking this?
Didn't she give a really nice speech?
Though she hid it well, how disappointed must Demi be right now?
Once Best Picture rolled around, wasn't 'Anora' winning inevitable?
But did you really expect it to clean up like it did?
Can Conan O' Brien do this again?
At this point, should any host just chalk it up as a victory they made it through the show without getting slapped?
