Conan O’Brien Set to Host Oscars Again – Third Time’s a Charm!

Looks like the Academy isn’t ready to say goodbye to Conan O’Brien just yet! The beloved comedian is making a comeback as the host for the 99th Annual Academy Awards, marking his third consecutive year on this glamorous stage. The announcement came straight from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and fans are buzzing with excitement.

Joining Conan are producers Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan, who will be steering the show for the fourth year in a row. Academy CEO Bill Kramer and President Lynette Howell Taylor expressed their enthusiasm, stating how thrilled they are to work alongside such a talented team. They highlighted the captivating and heartfelt shows produced over the past two years, and they’re eager to see Conan bring his unique blend of humor and energy to the Oscars once more.

Craig Erwich, President of Disney Television Group, also chimed in, praising Conan’s ability to elevate Hollywood’s biggest night into an entertaining spectacle. With such a dynamic host and a creative production team, the anticipation for the upcoming ceremony is already building.

The last Oscars, the 98th edition, had its own share of drama, featuring “One Battle After Another” taking home the coveted Best Picture award and Michael B. Jordan snagging his first-ever Academy Award for Best Actor in “Sinners.” However, the night wasn’t without its controversies, including a memorable tie and a few notable omissions during the In Memoriam segment.

As the Academy gears up for next year’s event, they’ve also made some significant changes to their rules, particularly regarding AI regulations and allowing multiple nominations for a single actor within the same category. Mark your calendars because the 99th Oscars will air live on ABC and Hulu on Sunday, March 14, 2027, starting at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT. Get ready for another unforgettable night in the world of cinema!
