One of the right bits of the 2025Oscarsso far was Conan O’Brien ’s " CinemaStreams " segment , but it miss one thing that would have made it perfect : Nicole Kidman . Shockingly , this year was the first meter O’Brien has ever hosted the Oscars , even though he ’s host mint of other major awards evince - a fact thatOscars 2025 narrator Nick Offermanpoked fun at , much to Conan ’s mortification .
But O’Brien has been grotesque all Nox as he ’s ushered the show along in between revealing theOscars 2025 winners , with his opening soliloquy and bonkers melodious number winning audiences over and his put-on landing all night . One of the biggest laughs was his pre - taped " CinemaStreams " moment , where he pitch movie lover this newfangled conception of rain cats and dogs their picture show … hold out , on a elephantine blind , in an actual field of operations . As slap-up as the joke was , one thing would have made it even better .
Conan’s CinemaStreams Oscars Joke Should Have Included Nicole Kidman
After All, She Helps Make Movies Magic
It was a great routine , but consider it was a bit about Conan O’Brien pitching people to ditch streaming and go to the movies , it feel like a miss chance to have Nicole Kidman there . After all , Kidman ’s viral ad for AMC about the magic of movies has become iconic , a meme in and of itself . It ’s enough that she cringes every time it come on - even if she move viral because she ’s so dear .
Bringing Kidman in as a nod to her viral advert would have been right in the spirit of the night , as the 2025 Academy Awards have been the biggest and most strictly loving celebration of pic in years . The past few long time , the Oscars have fight to soar above the weightiness of current events and various rebound movements weighing them down , but this yr , so far , they have soared . There was a hatful of goodwill and fun in the way , and Kidman ’s joyful ebullience for pic would have fit right into O’Brien ’s skit .
The Joke Was Still One Of The Best Of The Night
Conan Has Been Excellent As The Oscars 2025 Host
Even without Nicole Kidman , the jape was still one of the best segments of the night . Conan ’s pitch - perfect deadpan humour sold it , and he managed to poke merriment at our overreliance on streaming without amount across as a jerking . ConsideringHulu ’s debacle with crash during the 2025 Oscars , the bit about watch movies in theaters rather of on unreliable streaming platforms ironically strike even harder , too . Luckily for the2025 Oscars , the show was far better executed and well - received than the platform it streamed on , all thanks to O’Brien ’s wacky humor .
