Summary

Oscars host Conan O’Brien took a swipe at Donald Trump’s ties to Vladimir Putin while joking about Anora’s success at the 97th Academy Awards.

“Anora is having a good night,” he said of the film’s multiple wins. “That’s great news. Two wins already. I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian.” The joke drew loud applause.

It came after Trump’s tense meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky, where Trump compared scrutiny of his Russia ties to a “witch hunt.”

        MAGA: We need to protect the nuclear family.

        Trump: Yes, the nuclear family. What a big, beautiful family. No one knows nuclear like me. My uncle -

          And then because he said “nuclear” without “family,” he goes off on nuclear missile silos for a while, before “nuclear missile” falls out of his context window as well, and he starts talking about grain silos and farmers. He’s a walking frequency analysis.
