Los Angeles (California) [US], March 3 (ANI): The 2025 Oscars are officially underway, and host Conan O'Brien is bringing the laughs with his hilarious opening monologue.

'Logo ko namaskar. Waha subha ho chuki hai to mujhe ummeed hai ki ap crispy nashte ke sath Oscars dekhenge,' O'Brien said, which translates to 'Greetings to the people of India. It's morning there, so I hope you enjoy your breakfast with the Oscars.'

O'Brien then launched into a series of jokes about the Best Picture nominees, lightly ribbing each film.

He also joked about director Sean Baker's 'Anora,' saying, 'Anora used the f word 497 times, that's three more than the record set by Karla Sofia Gascon's publicist.'

The camera then cut to the Best Actress nominee in the audience, whose awards season has been marked by controversy over past social media comments.
