Conan O’Brien is known for keeping things loose. Not in that sense of coincidence, but more the idea that when it comes to giving him a step and a microphone, anything can happen. Usually this has proven to be his superpower, which is exemplified in his viral appearance on “hot” last yearBut when it comes to an event that Academy AwardsHe knows he will play to a very special audience.
Spoken to New York Times for an interview before his Oscar Host of gig On Sunday, March 2, O’Brien admitted that as prepared as he is, he is also ready to swing if the audience does not know what he posts.
“Nothing is in stone. I leave every opportunity on the table. I have a choice right now, and we will see what happens, “he said, leaving later,” there will be things that do not go as I want them to go. But keep open for the possibility that it is a gift, and you can do something out of it. ”
Comedian and long -lasting stability on late evenings acknowledged that his spread in bats on one of the biggest stages of entertainment comes when he feels particularly “nostalgic” if his childhood and influence celebrities have had on his life and career since then. O’Brien lost both parents at the end of last year, just a few days apart, and later had to meet evacuating their home during the soCal fire fires in January. He knows that others who participate in Oscars come from similar places and want to admit their shared pain, but also wants to keep the limelight on the power films still hold.
“Really good movie – especially when it comes from different countries, different views – has an incredible amount of resonance and significance right now, and it’s the night that celebrates it,” said O’Brien. “Being part of it makes sense to me. I do not think about it as a thankless task – even if I only do it once, and no one is interested in doing it again, it will have been a meaningful experience for me. My parents are not here to see it, but I know it would have been a huge deal for them. “
When it comes to the films that caught his attention over the past year, O’Brien shared that he has seen most of the nominees and some that were over the rest.
“(In ‘a completely unknown’) there is a scene where the Timothée Chalamet, like Bob Dylan, tries to write a song – you see him fight. I thought it was a great portrayal of the creative process, which is usually incorrect in film“He told Nyt. “I was blown away by Mikey Madison in ‘Anora.’ I loved “Conclave.” I would watch Ralph Fiennes read from an electric manual. ”
But more important than these great name challengers, believed O’Brien, are the independent filmmakers from all over the world who could hardly imagine themselves or that their work is honored by Hollywood’s biggest name.
“When I see these people who have come from, you know, Latvia, get up on stage, if they get up for (the animated movie)” Flow “, it’s exciting to me,” said O’Brien. “You see someone having the greatest moment of their life. It can be transformative. “
