Conan O'Brien delivered a real zinger during his opening speech at the Oscars [View all]

Oooph. Conan Oâ€™Brien delivered a real zinger during his opening speech.

"It's the first time since 2012 that there are no British actors nominated for Best Actor or Best Actress. A British spokesperson said, 'Yeah, well, at least we arrest our pedophiles.'"
