3. Host Conan O’Brien’s monologue and humour kept the audience entertained thoroughly. He playfully stated the variety of names that had been used to describe him on the red carpet, including “A Complete Unknown,” “A Real Pain,” and “Nosferatu.” The internet loved him as the host.

4. Doja Cat, Lisa, and Raye graced the red carpet in ensembles inspired by iconic “James Bond girls.” This stylish nod set the stage for their powerful tribute performance, where they delivered a medley of classic Bond themes like ‘Live and Let Die,’ ‘Diamonds Are Forever,’ and ‘Skyfall.’ 

5. Adam Sandler, in his usual relaxed style, stole the show and brought a smile to everyone’s face. During Conan O’Brien’s opening speech at the Oscars, Sandler suddenly got up. He was wearing shorts and a sweatshirt, a very casual look for the formal event. He walked quickly onto the stage, interrupting Conan’s monologue. Sandler went straight to Timothée Chalamet and gave him a big hug.
