Conan O’Brien will be returning to host the Oscars in 2026, after his successful debut this year. The 97th Academy Awards attracted its biggest broadcast audience in five years, with an estimated 19.7 million viewers watching the ceremony. O’Brien’s comedic style was well received, and the show was praised for celebrating the film community in a visually stunning way. The upcoming Oscars, set for March 15, will once again have Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan as executive producers, with Jeff Ross and Mike Sweeney as producers. Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Janet Yang expressed their excitement to work with the team again. The show also performed well on social media, outperforming the Grammy Awards and the Super Bowl. Additionally, this year’s Oscars were streamed live on Hulu for the first time, despite some technical issues. The announcement of next year’s hosting and producing teams so soon after this year’s Oscars is earlier than usual for the film academy and ABC. O’Brien jokingly stated that the only reason he’s hosting next year’s Oscars is to hear Adrien Brody finish his speech. Overall, the return of O’Brien as host and the strong team behind the production are expected to make the 98th Academy Awards another memorable event.
