Nigeria's Entertainment Scene Would be Thrilled by Conan O'Brien's Oscar Acceptance Speech If Conan O'Brien, the energetic host of the Oscars, ever wins an Academy Award, you can bet he won't be speaking in hushed tones about the honor. His display at the 2026 Oscars was a testament to this. During his hosting stint, he poked fun at the modesty of Oscar winners, who often share their glory with their teams and loved ones. O'Brien jokingly confessed that he couldn't possibly be humble like them. He entered a fantastical dream sequence where he won the Best Achievement Oscar, beating big-name contenders like Antonio Banderas, Renee Zellweger, Denzel Washington, and Glenn Close. In this scenario, he wore a velvet robe, a crown, and even received a blessing from a cardinal. The grandiose scene took a turn for the dramatic when Josh Groban, the famous singer, stepped onto the stage to serenade O'Brien with a song that declared, "His Oscar win has been fated by God/ He did this himself, and he's grateful to none/ Even the haters can't hate number one." O'Brien's grand acceptance speech continued with him calling on a falcon named Cicero to deliver his statuette from the sky. He promised the audience that this was how all Oscars would be handed out that night. This display of showmanship is no surprise, given O'Brien's history of hosting major award ceremonies like the Oscars and the Emmys. For Nigerians who love entertainment, Conan O'Brien's antics at the Oscars would be a breath of fresh air. His unapologetic confidence and humor are traits that would likely appeal to fans of local comedians and entertainers. Who knows, maybe a Nigerian celebrity like Davido or Wizkid would deliver a similar acceptance speech if they ever won a major award in the future.
