Summary
- Host O'Brien joked about British pedophile arrests and Trump.
- Jokes referenced the Epstein files and Trump's renaming habits.

During his opening monologue, comedian O'Brien sparked controversy with jokes referencing pedophilia and President Donald Trump. He quipped that Britain arrests its pedophiles, a remark seemingly linked to recent arrests in the UK following the release of the Epstein files. No charges have been filed against those arrested, and they deny wrongdoing.
O'Brien also targeted Trump's habit of associating his name with buildings, humorously renaming the Oscars venue. This followed reports of the Trump administration's alleged attempts to rename prominent New York and Washington D.C. locations in the former president's honor. Trump has denied initiating these name-change proposals.
The Oscars ceremony was held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, with O'Brien's monologue touching on various topical issues.
