Oscars host Conan O’Brien had plenty of opinions in his opening monologue of this year’s Academy Awards. He took shots at The Brutalist‘s length, Karla Sofía Gascón’s racist tweets, and Dune: Part Two‘s confusing nature. But his harshest barbs were directed at Netflix.
“Netflix leads studios with an impressive eighteen… price increases,” O’Brien said, to many laughs from the audience. Netflix recently raised prices, again, after raising prices in 2023.

The Oscars aired Sunday night on ABC.
