The Academy Awards is Hollywood’s biggest cinematic battlefield. But assuming the spotlight only shines on the nominees would be a little too far-fetched. The award ceremony has been an industry highlight in more ways than one and the Oscars 2025 is no different. However, amidst the cinematic fireworks that are being ready to be launched, the Academy Awards has already had its first hiccup, straight from the coattails of this year’s host, Conan O’Brien. Although the Oscars have only kicked off, fans have already thrown O’Brien under the bus for “wasting time.”
Conan O’Brien performs “I Won’t Waste Time” with a sandworm from ‘Dune’ and Dancepool from ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’

As the clips went viral online, the track selection turned into dirty laundry for fans to pick up, and safe to say, fans might even be missing Jimmy Kimmel this time around.
