As we inch closer to the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences' (AMPAS) 97th Oscars on ABC and Hulu (Sunday, March 2, 2025) we've got some more "golden" goodness to share that's spotlighting Emmy-winning comedian, writer, producer, former late-night host, and all-around comedy icon Conan O'Brien, the ringmaster for the night's festivities. "America demanded it, and now it's happening: Taco Bell's new Cheesy Chalupa Supreme. In other news, I'm hosting the Oscars," O'Brien shared in a statement when the news first hit. With the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood as the event's home base and broadcast to more than 200 territories worldwide, this marks O'Brien's first time hosting the big awards gig – with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel hosting the previous two seasons. Academy Award winners Robert Downey Jr., Cillian Murphy, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and Emma Stone were announced as the first wave of Oscars presenters. Following a look at the new key art poster, we also have a look at the production team for this year's Oscars – including the writers, director, and more.
