Oscars: The year’s best films are honored at the 98th Academy Awards

• Red carpet: Stars stopped to chat with CNN and Variety as they made their grand entrances. Check out some of the night’s most striking looks in the photo gallery above.

• Safety measures: Law enforcement and Oscars organizers are assuring visitors that security is tight surrounding this year’s event, in light of the war with Iran and recent terror attacks.

Conan O’Brien Must Go … On Every Podcast to Promote the Oscars

The former late night host was early to the video podcast game, now he is leaning on those platforms to promote this year's awards telecast.

If there’s anyone who understands how significantly the cultural impact of talk shows has drifted away from late night and daytime TV to podcasts and YouTube, it would be Conan O’Brien.

The former NBC Late Night and Tonight Show and TBS Conan host ended his late night run in 2021, shifting his focus to his podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend. He was early to the video podcast game there, too, pulling clips when many other top shows were still audio-only, and clips from his HBO travelogue Conan O’Brien Must Go also travel well on social media.

The dynamic landscape of current events often brings forth significant discussions. Monitoring these developments provides crucial insights.
