“100 ‘If you’re going to tweet…’ Conan O’Brien targets transgender actor for ‘Yoon Yeo-jeong insult’ [97th Academy]”

Conan O’Brien aimed a sharp joke at transgender actress Carla Sofia Gascon, who has sparked racial controversy. On the 3rd (Korean time), the 97th American Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, USA.

This awards ceremony was once postponed due to wildfires in California.

Popular comedian Conan O’Brien hosted for the first time. On this day, Conan O’Brien appeared with a short skit paying homage to ‘Substance.’

He brought laughter by parodying the scene of tearing the back of Elizabeth (Demi Moore) in the film.

Conan O’Brien, who took the stage, humorously touched on Hollywood film industry issues, mentioning works and actors nominated for awards, with comments like “It’s the greatest Hollywood evening starting at 4 PM”, “Last year, Netflix led all studios with an astounding number of 18 films”, and “No AI was used to make this show.” In the midst of this, Conan O’Brien addressed Carla Sofia Gascon, saying, “If you’re going to tweet about the Oscars, remember my name is Jimmy Kimmel.”

Gascon, in the audience, was also caught with an awkward smile.

    Is Nvidia a company that ranks up just because you want something made? After being below for 20 years, they suddenly rose. Frankly, if such a company was created and all that profit transferred as tax, how would it grow? Is it a company that earns money just by staying still without any R&D? Honestly, if Lee Jae-myung wants to be president, just keep quiet. Talking about major currencies just shows that things would truly go down if it happens.

  • 77% of Women “Promotion differs by gender”… Only 49% of Men agree
  • comment icon
    99% of Korean women just build specs through leeching jobs and get hired, opening legs and receiving semen from senior male bosses for salary, which is the company average (even prestigious universities or professionals). Also, they shared the breath of the pervert grandpa Moon Jae-in who only watches incest porn and rubbed it in. Most Korean women conveniently rake in profits that way.

    Of course, differences exist due to gender. Men work better, so they get promoted faster.

Carla Sofia Gascon had previously been embroiled in racial controversy over her statements posted on SNS ‘X’ (formerly Twitter).

In her post, she wrote racial content, including defending Hitler, and particularly in 2021, when actress Youn Yuh-jung became the first Korean to win a supporting actress award at the Oscars for the movie ‘Minari,’ she derogatorily said, “The Oscars are increasingly becoming an Afro-Korean festival.”

In this awards ceremony, black actor Daniel Kaluuya also won the supporting actor award.

As a result, Gascon’s attendance at the Oscars, where she was nominated for Best Actress for ‘Emilia Perez,’ was also questioned.

In an interview with CNN regarding this, Gascon said, “I sincerely apologize to anyone who felt offended,” and added, “I haven’t committed any crime nor caused harm to anyone, so I cannot step down from the Oscar nomination.”

Continuing, she excused herself, stating, “I am neither a racist nor have ever attempted to make others believe so.” By-jui In, juin27@edaily.co.kr
