"It's the first time since 2012 that there are no British actors nominated for Best Actor or Best Actress. The British spokesperson said, 'Yeah, well, at least we arrest our pedophiles, so we've got that going for us.' He's referring to the ex-prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who was arrested earlier this year in Britain on suspicion of misconduct in public office."
At the 2026 Oscars ceremony, host Conan O'Brien delivered an opening monologue featuring topical humor. He noted that no British actors received nominations for Best Actor or Best Actress for the first time since 2012. O'Brien then made a joke about British law enforcement, referencing Prince Andrew's arrest earlier that year on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Following this segment, O'Brien transitioned into a comedic bit featuring actor Michael B. Jordan replacing all the seat fillers in a section of the audience, shifting the tone toward lighter entertainment.
