What's up? I'm Corey, and these are your entertainment and celebrity headlines. Hollywood's biggest stars gathered at the Dolby Theater for the 98th Academy Awards on Sunday. Conan O'Brien hosted for the second straight year, dishing out jokes during the three-hour show on ABC. First-time winners included Jesse Buckley from Hamnet and Michael B. Jordan from Seners and Best Actor. One standout moment came from Barbara Streisand, who got emotional paying tribute to her late friend Robert Redford. She shared memories from their 1973 film together and sang The Way We Were, just like at his funeral last October. Meanwhile, O'Brien kept things lively by calling Leonardo DiCaprio the King of Means and making him pose awkwardly on camera for a new viral reaction. He also teased Timothy Chalemay about a past comment on opera and ballet, leaving the nominees squirming next to his girlfriend.

Chalemay faced disappointment when he lost Best Actor to Jordan, despite a tough field of including Decaprio. The Knight had a rare tie too. Only the seventh in Oscars history, splitting Best Live Action Short Film between the singers and two people exchanging. Saliga?

The bridesmaids cast reunited to present awards, minus one member. While fans buzzed over the highlights on social media, some viewers called out O'Brien's hosting as cringy, especially edgy jokes that fell flat.
