Conan O’Brien kickstarts his Oscars monologue with a dig at Karla Sofía Gascón

The Oscars 2025 is well underway, and presenter Conan O’Brien has kickstarted his monologue by making a dig at Karla Sofía Gascón. 

The 97th Academy Awards made an effort to honour Los Angeles following the devastation caused by the recent wildfires, followed by a hotly anticipated performance by Wicked co-stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.

Following the performance, O’Brien launched his first-ever Oscars presenting monologue. And he didn’t shy away from calling out Emilia Pérez star Gascón. 

“A little fact for you, Anora uses the ‘F-word’ 479 times,” O’Brien said. “That’s three more than the record set by Karla Sofía Gascón’s publicist.”
