Conan O’Brien is hosting the Oscars for the first time, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences is tapping a number of past winners to present — and has teased some sort of “unexpected” surprise.

It will mark the first time the former late-night talk show host will emcee the Oscars, though he’s hosted other award shows like the Emmy Awards in 2002 and 2006.

The role of Oscars announcer goes all the way back to 1953 when former U.S. President Ronald Reagan announced the night's big winners.

Best Animated Short goes to In the Shadow of the Cypress. In the Shadow of the Cypress is a 2023 Iranian animated short film directed by Hossein Molayemi and Shirin Sohani. This 20-minute, dialogue-free narrative centers on a former ship captain suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who lives with his daughter in an isolated seaside home.

Conan O’Brien will host the 97th Oscars airing live from the Dolby Theatre in Ovation Hollywood in Los Angeles, California. The Academy Awards will air at 7 p.m. Sunday, March 2, on ABC. LIVE STREAM: Fans can watch without cable on fuboTV and DirecTV Stream, both of which offer free trials.
