TV profile Conan O'Brien will lead the Oscars gala again next year, according to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
O'Brien led the gala this year, when he debuted as Oscars host.
"The only reason I'm leading the gala next year is because I want to hear Adrien Brody finish his acceptance speech", he says in a press release, referring to the actor's exceptionally long outpouring at this year's gala.
The 2026 gala will take place in Los Angeles on March 15 and will be broadcast to more than 200 countries around the world.
