Oscars host Conan OâBrien has poked fun at the Emilia Pérez controversy in his opening monologue.
This yearâs Academy Awards ceremony is taking place tonight (March 2), with OâBrien taking over the reins as host for the first time.
AdvertisementDuring his monologue, which included a dedication to Los Angeles after the recent wildfires, as well as a song about not wasting time during the ceremony, he also did comedy bits about some of this yearâs nominated films.
Among his targets was Emilia Pérez, which has drawn controversy in recent weeks following resurfaced tweets from star Karla Sofia Gascón, who is up for Best Actress.
In the posts, Gascon made derogatory comments about Muslim people, the murder of George Floyd and the Oscars. She later released a statement and said that her posts were taken out of context, denying that she was racist. She attended the ceremony this evening, with Netflix reportedly paying for her expenses.
While referring to fellow nominee Anora, OâBrien quipped: âLittle fact for you, Anora uses the F-word 479 times â thatâs three more times than the record set by Karla Sofia Gascónâs publicist.â
RecommendedAfter cutting to Gascon and shock and laughter from the audience, the comedian added: âIâm having fun. Karla Sofia Gascón is here tonight. And Karla if you are going to tweet about the Oscars, my name is Jimmy Kimmel.â
