Oscars 2025: Conon O’Brien Takes a Dig At Karla Sofía Gascón Who Shocks Everyone By Attending Hollywood’s Biggest Night; Says ‘My Name is Jimmy Kimmel’

by

During the ongoing 97th Academy Awards, comedy legend Conan O’Brien, making his debut as host, playfully teased Karla Sofía Gascón, a Best Actress nominee who faced criticism throughout award season due to her past remarks considered Islamophobic, racist, and offensive.

I truly adored the movie ‘Anora’, which was nominated for Best Picture. Interestingly, did you know that it uses the word ‘F’ a staggering 479 times? That’s one more than the record previously held by Karla Sofía Gascón’s publicist, as he humorously pointed out in his opening speech.

I’m enjoying myself, and Karla Sofía Gascón is present tonight,” O’Brien went on as the cameras shifted to Emilia Pérez, the celebrated actress seated among the audience. With hands clasped together, she bowed gracefully and sent a kiss before silently saying “thank you.

“If you’re going to tweet about the Oscars, remember—my name is Jimmy Kimmel,” O’Brien added.

Of particular note, Gascón, aged 52, graced the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles at the ceremony, donning a stunning one-shoulder black dress embellished with diamonds. Although she appeared to forgo the red carpet experience, photographs obtained by The Hollywood Reporter prior to the event commencing revealed her presence within the glamorous setting.

In this rendition, let’s rephrase the given text while maintaining its essence and readability:

Gascón’s movie, featuring Selena Gomez, has earned 13 nominations, among them Best Picture. The lead actress in the film, who is portraying the main character, becomes the first openly transgender actress to be nominated for Best Actress.

In a chat with People more recently, O’Brien shared that amidst the thrill of hosting the prestigious Oscars, he would also be reflecting on his parents. Simultaneously, on Good Morning America, he acknowledged his writers for coming up with numerous concepts for his role. With a touch of modesty, he admitted that he once harbored dreams of being a seat filler at the Oscars, but never fathomed the possibility of being invited to host the event itself.

The humorist, it’s worth mentioning, has hosted the Emmys and the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on two separate occasions. He shared with People that in preparation for the event, he had watched every one of the 35 nominated feature films.
