Conan O’Brien’s Snack Attack: A Sweet Treat for Oscars 2025 Attendees
At the 2025 Oscars held on March 2, Conan O’Brien pulled off a delightful surprise that’s sure to make him the favorite host of the night. While the world tuned in for the glitz and glam of Hollywood’s biggest night, those in attendance were treated to something a little more down-to-earth—snack boxes filled with goodies, courtesy of Conan himself. Nestled beneath their seats, audience members found boxes containing bottled water and pretzels, topped off with a cheeky note from the late-night king. The note read, “Dear Star/Seat filler, I hope you enjoy these complimentary snacks,” complete with a cartoon drawing of O’Brien. How cute is that? He even joked about trying to include gummies but was given a firm “no” from Disney!
This isn’t the first time snacks have made an appearance at the Oscars, though. Remember Ellen DeGeneres serving pizza to the audience back in 2014? It seems Conan is carving out his own niche in the Oscar snack game. But the fun didn’t stop there. O’Brien’s opening monologue was packed with hilarious jabs and playful digs at the nominees, like Karla Sofía Gascón, who found herself in hot water over past tweets. In typical Conan style, he quipped, “Karla, if you are going to tweet about the Oscars, remember, my name is Jimmy Kimmel.” The laughter-filled night also included a nod to Timothée Chalamet’s eye-catching yellow suit, as Conan assured him, “You will not get hit on your bike tonight.” Classic Conan!
As for the awards, “Anora” took home the coveted Best Picture, while Cynthia Erivo snagged the Best Actress award for her role in “Wicked.” Kieran Culkin made waves for his performance in “A Real Pain,” winning Best Supporting Actor. This year’s ceremony was a mix of heartfelt moments, laughs, and, of course, a sprinkle of controversy—exactly what you’d expect from the Oscars.
So, if you missed the broadcast, don’t fret! The snacks may be gone, but the hilarity and the awards are just a click away. Catch up on all the winners and the wild antics that made this Oscars one for the books!
