Conan O'Brien mocks Timothée Chalamet and other at Oscars 2026
Conan O'Brien wasted no time getting to the good stuff at the 98th Academy Awards on Sunday, 15 March, delivering a spotlight speech that took well-aimed swipes at some of Hollywood's most talked-about targets, with Timothée Chalamet's dance performance and musical theater controversy firmly in his sights.
"There's concerns about attacks from the dance performance and musical theater communities." He then turned directly to Chalamet with a deadpan kicker: "They're just mad you left out jazz."
It was one of the sharpest lines of the night, landing cleanly given how extensively Chalamet's February notes had been dissected across the industry in the weeks leading up to the event.
O'Brien also took a swing at the increasingly tense relationship between Hollywood and politics, warning the room that things could get uncomfortable. His solution?
"There's an alternate Oscars being hosted by Kid Rock. It's at the Dave & Buster's down the street."
