And just like that, the 2025 awards season has ended with the 97th annual Oscars.
Conan O’Brien hosted the Academy Awards for the first time on Sunday, March 2, following in fellow comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s footsteps. Us Weekly got an exclusive sneak peek of O’Brien’s performance in the lead-up to the ceremony, which he referred to as the “pinnacle” of hosting gigs.

The Brutalist and Wicked followed closely behind with 10 nominations each. In the end, Anora walked away with the most wins.
