Leonardo DiCaprio Becomes the Meme King at the 2026 Oscars At this year's 98th Academy Awards on March 15, Conan O'Brien brought his signature wit and humor to the Dolby Theatre stage in Hollywood. The returning host kicked off the ceremony with a memorable entrance, showcasing his comedic skills as he made his way through various Best Picture nominees. Dressed in a hilarious Best Supporting Actress winner Amy Madigan's Aunt Gladys makeup from the movie Weapons, O'Brien was chased by excited children through a mock F1 race track and even stopped by a lively Sinners juke joint. Although he had to tone down his jokes for Train Dreams, a nominee that left him speechless, he still managed to get a standing ovation from the audience. During his opening monologue, O'Brien tackled the sensitive topic of the opera and ballet communities, responding to Timothée Chalamet's recent statement about the decline of interest in these art forms. Chalamet, a Best Actor nominee, couldn't help but chuckle along with his date, Kylie Jenner. However, the real moment that will be remembered for years to come is when O'Brien took a swipe at Leonardo DiCaprio, becoming the latest addition to the actor's evergreen meme collection. This lighthearted jab at the Oscar winner has already started trending on social media, with many Naijans and fans around the world enjoying the humorous moment. It's worth noting that DiCaprio has been a long-time meme favorite, and his reactions to these jokes will likely continue to entertain us for a long time.
