Conan O’Brien remained largely apolitical while hosting the Oscars on Sunday night, save for his one subtle dig at President Trump and Russia.
Conan’s joke came after the fan-favorite Anora, about a prostitute marrying a Russian oligarch, won two Oscars for editing and original screenplay.
“Anora is having a good night. Two wins already. I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian,” Conan joked.
