Summary
- Host humorously targeted Netflix and Amazon for Oscar snubs.
- Security concerns joked about being from opera and ballet.
- Chalamet's comments fueled the host's controversial joke.

The recent Academy Awards ceremony featured a host who didn't shy away from controversial humor. The second-time host directed jokes at prominent industry figures, including Netflix head Ted Sarandos and the nominations-less studio Amazon. This pointed commentary highlighted the perceived slights and industry dynamics surrounding the prestigious awards.
Further jesting touched upon reports of heightened security measures at the event.
