The Excerpt
‘Sinners’ makes Oscar history with 16 nominations

And so that's the only other one I would say to watch out for.

The Excerpt
‘Sinners’ makes Oscar history with 16 nominations

I know, Dana, what a big K-pop Demon Hunters fan you are.

The Excerpt
‘Sinners’ makes Oscar history with 16 nominations

Of course, Golden is up for Best Original Song, so we'll see how that does, not just at the Grammys, but now at the Oscars.

The Excerpt
‘Sinners’ makes Oscar history with 16 nominations

I think that is a favorite, even though somebody that I get to speak to all the time, the great Diane Warren, also nominated yet again in the Best Original Song category.

The Excerpt
‘Sinners’ makes Oscar history with 16 nominations

But yeah, K-pop demon hunters, I would say that's the favorite right now as far as animated film.

The Excerpt
‘Sinners’ makes Oscar history with 16 nominations

Wow.

The Excerpt
‘Sinners’ makes Oscar history with 16 nominations

It will be – I think, first of all, he's not going to be afraid to poke fun at people.

The Excerpt
‘Sinners’ makes Oscar history with 16 nominations

I don't think he's – he's not going to go Ricky Gervais on everyone and make everyone uncomfortable, per se, squirming in their seats.

The Excerpt
‘Sinners’ makes Oscar history with 16 nominations

But I don't think he's going to shy away from –

The Excerpt
‘Sinners’ makes Oscar history with 16 nominations

taking a jab here or there.

The Excerpt
‘Sinners’ makes Oscar history with 16 nominations

I do think one of the reasons though, why they brought him back is because universally he was well-received and a lot of times are universally well-received because you kind of quote unquote, play it safe.

The Excerpt
‘Sinners’ makes Oscar history with 16 nominations

Again, I don't think safe is, is the right word to describe the way he's going to host the Oscars again, but you know, like it's, it's funny on one hand, he's obviously on ABC, which is owned by Disney.

The Excerpt
‘Sinners’ makes Oscar history with 16 nominations

And of course you have this incredible Hollywood institution, the Academy, which is,

The Excerpt
‘Sinners’ makes Oscar history with 16 nominations

trying to figure out so many different things right now, just Hollywood in general as far as where films are being made and how they're being financed and how they're being distributed.

The Excerpt
‘Sinners’ makes Oscar history with 16 nominations

I think Conan is certainly sympathetic and aware of all of that.

The Excerpt
‘Sinners’ makes Oscar history with 16 nominations

At the same time, it's not like

The Excerpt
‘Sinners’ makes Oscar history with 16 nominations

you're Jimmy Kimmel where you're on Disney and also Disney's your employer, right?

The Excerpt
‘Sinners’ makes Oscar history with 16 nominations

Like that's not really the case here with Conan.

The Excerpt
‘Sinners’ makes Oscar history with 16 nominations

He's kind of a hired gun for, for lack of a better term.

The Excerpt
‘Sinners’ makes Oscar history with 16 nominations

So, so I, I think he'll, he'll keep things entertaining.
