Conan O'Brien opened the Oscars with a high-energy cold open that immediately set the tone for Hollywood's biggest night. Known for his sharp wit and physical comedy, O'Brien launched into a monologue that included a joke about Timothée Chalamet that drew both laughter and raised eyebrows from the audience.
A filmed segment that preceded his remarks parodied the chase scene from the film Weapons. It featured O'Brien in clownish makeup reminiscent of Amy Madigan's character and running across streets and bridges to the Beastie Boys track Sabotage.
